Experience Thrills at Go Bowling NASCAR Race During Mother's Day Weekend #United_States #NASCAR #Watkins_Glen #Go_Bowling
A small waterfall is on the left side of the photo. The trail goes mostly behind the waterfall. Hikers will get wet. At least we did. A larger waterfall is in the center of the photo. The sandstone and shale strata are clearly shown on the right side.
This is a close up of the waterfall that is in front of the trail.
Today I have 2 more photos from the Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen State Park. Both photos are of the same waterfall. (more in alt text) #photography #Watkins_Glen #waterfall
This photo of the trail shows the beautiful craftwork of trail building in the gorge. The builders used the strata of rock to make the stairs needed in many places to hike in the 3 mile long gorge. The hikers in the photo give a sense of scale to the photo. A hiker in a bluegray shirt is at the bottom of some steps, and another hiker in a turquoise shirt is at the top of the steps. Further up the trail is a group of hikers under an overhang. The photo includes 1 or 2, depending on how you count such things, of the many waterfalls in the gorge.
I am staying on the gorgeous Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen State Park, NY today. (more in alt text) #photography #geology #Watkins_Glen #CCC
The current Gorge Trail in the park was built by the CCC after the old trail and its bridges were destroyed by a flood in 1935. The photo shows the trail on the left side built on the sandstone and slate ledges and a low wall made of the native stone. There are many waterfalls and pools in the gorge. The leaves on the trees above the gorge are reflected in a pool in the photo. A good site for information about the park, the gorge, and the area's geology is at the URL. https://www.gofingerlakes.org/locations/watkins-glen-state-park/
A Civilian Conservation Corps built trail in Watkins Glen State Park, New York looks like it is just part of the gorge. (more in alt text) #photography #Watkins_Glen #CCC
