Watkins Glen in the Fall

Watkins Glen State Park was the first destination of our fall foliage trip last week. The views in the gorge (the slide show below) were full of water exposed layers of rock, colorful leaves, and water flowing over rock ledges. The sounds of falling water were ever present and, when the wind blew, leaves swirled. As usual, some parts of the path were wet (the price one pays for having a path behind a falls!). It’s a path to take slowly and savor the richness of the natural world of Watkins Glen.

In addition to the gorge and broad views of fall foliage - I enjoyed some closer looks at fall plants - and the tile on the outside of the park building.
