My attempt at a close-up of the cascade failed this year but here is an image from two years ago.

Buttermilk Falls State Park

Another view of the gorge trail at Buttermilk Falls State Park. This view is just after the Slip -n- Slide image I posted a little over a week ago. I really enjoyed seeing all the water but I will definitely return once the levels drop a little. My last trip to this park was almost two years ago and I look forward to improving on these images… Buttermilk Falls – Gorge Trail.

Watkins Glen State Park

Today was another State Park day. The confluence of events all worked out for me. No work for me or either of the kids. No commitments. Beautiful weather. I decided last night to take off early in the morning for Watkins Glen and Fillmore Glen State Parks. I arrived at Watkins Glen a little after 8am and was starting the Gorge Trail before 8:30.

It was a good thing I am an early bird. By the time I walked the 1.5 mile trail it was getting very crowded and my photographic opportunities on the return walk were slim to none (that is if I wanted the view people free). Patience does win out on a few occasions and this view of Rainbow Falls was captured on the return trip. If you look closely you can spot a few people on the stone bridge. 🙂
