We went to Watkins Glen State Park yesterday. The park is about 776 acres with a small campground, picnic areas and other facilities. We took the Gorge Trail which follows Glen Creek past water-sculpted rock and 19 waterfalls. There are over 800 stone steps in the gorge. From the lower end of the gorge to the upper is a mile and half. Clare only made it about a quarter of the way because her fear of heights. I continued on the grueling stone steps. At one point you go under a small waterfall. The path is narrow. Instead of going back down all of those steps I opted to take the South Rim Trail along the top of the gorge. It was just a trail through the woods and not marked very well. One side of the trail had a fence along it so no one could get too close to the gorge. I walked that whole trail and only saw one person going up the trail. There are some photo of the trail through the woods in the slide show.
