Skies are overcast but rain is supposed to hold off until late afternoon/evening. Today we are off to Watkins Glen. This gorge is the area’s signature hike so we have to do it even though we have both walked it a time or two before. The hikes are different every time. We start off at the south entrance and drop down into the gorge right at a spiral staircase that leads the trail behind a wall of water. Very cool. We checked that out then continued up through the gorge dodging lots of dripping ledges, oohing and awing at the sights around every turn. I think the gorge at Treman is a bit more dramatic but this one is fantastic too. If water falls are you thing, this is a great place to check out.

While we are in town, we check out the Seneca Lake Watkins Glen Marina. Sailboats crisscross the water in front of us but don’t go far down lake. Winds are picking up and expected to be 40 mph as the cool front bringing rain moves in. It is a lovely place to just hang out and we had our picnic lunch. We cruise by a couple roadside waterfalls and make our way back to camp.
