Watkins Glen Gorge, NY

We have had so many new adventures since we have been in NY I have lost track of the time and keeping my blogs up to date!

Kris and I visited Watkins Glen Gorge a week ago and it is something we hope everyone who loves the out of doors will get to see. It is an amazing site with all the dips and turns and waterfalls this place has to offer.

Not only is the gorge a beautiful site, but also take in to account what it took to put the walk way in to play. I cannot image the work involved and the challenges these brave people were up against. This is a feat all in it self.

We do recommend, to enjoy the walk and less stress on the body to either drive or take the bus up to the upper level and walk down. We lucked up on this and parked at the top because the lot below was full. We took the bus back up to the truck. It is well worth the $3.00 per person the ride! The cost to get into the park is $7 per car. This is to help with the up keep. It is well worth it and more.

We walked down the gorge trail in 2 hours. We stopped often to take pictures. There is no place to really rest. Once you are on the trail you are there until you finish. If it took 2 hours to walk down I cannot image the pain and time to walk up it! Some young people were in flip flops! I bet their feet were hurting when they were through.

I had a walking stick. I liked it because with all the wet and slippery places it helped me keep my balance and allow Kris to take pictures without worry about me falling.
