Gorge Trail in Watkins Glen State Park

This image was taken at the beautiful Watkins Glen State Park along a cavernous walkway on the Gorge Trail. Route yourself to the State Park and navigate to the Gorge Trail trailhead. After about 15 minutes you'll reach this view! Address: Watkins Glen State Park, 1009 N Franklin St, Watkins Glen, NY 14891$

To get the lush greenery, visit during the spring and summer seasons. The summers can be more crowded, so plan your trip accordingly. To capture the vibrant foliage, visit in the fall months. The trail is often closed in the winter time.

Daytime light illuminates the walkway, so visit anytime after sunrise and before sunset.

The rocks along the trail can be wet and slippery so make sure to wear sturdy shoes with good traction.

A wide-angle lens (19mm) allows you to frame the expansiveness of the trail.

I preferred focusing on the beauty of nature versus a subject in my frame. That said, photographing a model will put the grand area into perspective.

Enjoy all that the Gorge Trail has to offer! You can buy camping passes and stay the night, swim in the natural springs during the day, have a picnic underneath one of the 19 waterfalls or hike the entire two-mile trail. There's something for everyone at this gorgeous natural landmark.
