Light—and a waterfall—at the end of the tunnel.

Watkins Glenns State Park

When you say New York, most people think about Manhattan, New York City, the Liberty Statue, or the Niagara Falls. But, there is much more than that, like the beautiful Long Island. Personally, I find more worth it the landscape scenery, the small towns, walking in nature than just a regular day in the city.

All the way up in Upstate New York, we can find the finger lakes, including this State park called Watkins Glenns. An overall easy hike in the gorge with beautiful waterfalls. The Trail to the gorge can be too narrow for wheelchairs, also you will also find some stairs. The most challenging thing you will find in the State Park will be the stairs and they are not bad at all.

Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.
