Watkins Glen State Park - A walking tour of the Gorge Trail

#watkinsglen #walkingtour #fingerlakes Watkins Glen State Park is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, USA. Renowned for its stunning gorges, waterfalls, and lush vegetation, the park covers an area of approximately 778 acres and attracts visitors from around the world who seek to immerse themselves in its awe-inspiring beauty.
The park's main attraction is its winding network of gorges carved out by Glen Creek over thousands of years. This glacially-carved canyon features towering cliffs, rock formations, and a series of 19 waterfalls, each more impressive than the last. As the creek cascades through the gorges, it creates a mesmerizing symphony of rushing water and a refreshing mist that fills the air.
Visitors can explore the park through a series of well-maintained hiking trails that meander alongside the creek, leading them through narrow pathways, stone bridges, and under impressive waterfalls. The Gorge Trail is the most popular and iconic path, offering spectacular views of the waterfalls and providing numerous photo opportunities.

That's the least crowded I've seen it; nice job cutting around the people!

Tx for this beautiful video with sound, and your skill at maximizing the views and minimizing the presence of other hikers.

This is a deeply spirit laden place and I used to own a gentleman's farm not far away. I should have stayed put. There are nearly a thousand beautiful gorges in the Finger Lakes, but Watkin's Glen is the Grandmother of them all. The idiots concentrating on I-phone photos might better have stayed home and watched your video instead. I did and am grateful for your effort. Still don't believe in the power of Mother Nature and the long time? Thank you for this gift! Namaste'
