Letchworth State Park – Before the Falls

Letchworth State Park

I know I have said this before but New York State has some incredible landscape. I dream of traveling out West to visit our more famous national parks, but I am still impressed with these state parks. This park was voted the best in the nation for state parks with good reason… it is beautiful.

The GPS brought me into the North East end of the park. I had a good 15 mile drive to reach the more reachable scenic areas in the lower end of the park. Before I get to the three waterfalls, I thought I would show off the views of the gorge.

Rayhill Memorial Trail

I have not walked the Rayhill Memorial Trail at all this year. Last night was looking like it was going to be a good sunset and I needed to get outside after a long week at work. I started at the opposite end of the trail than I normally do, figuring walking into the sunset would provide better image opportunities. It did, but boy did I have to walk through an onslaught of bugs! Those big patches of light specks in the image are the bugs!
