There is training for work I will be attending in Buffalo, NY on Monday and Tuesday this week so I took the opportunity to visit my parents. It also allowed me to stop at Watkins Glen State Park for a little exploring. I have seen images from this park and knew it was going to be a good time. I was not disappointed.

The gorge trail along Glen Creek is absolutely amazing. As I am sure readers of this blog are aware I love to photograph water. I definitely have a thing for it. It took me a little over three hours to walk the 1.5 mile trail through the gorge. I know I would have stayed longer but as I was returning from the west end of the trail the park was starting to get crowded. The trail is not very wide in a lot of places and setting up a tripod when it is busy just didn’t seem right. I didn’t want to hold people up or be in the way.

This is the view from the stone bridge at Rainbow Falls. I have the more classic view also but I really liked the detail in the gorge walls in this view.
