The Gorge Trail Everyone's Talking About at Watkins Glen

Experience the stunning beauty of Watkins Glen State Park's Gorge Trail with Zephyr Travels! In this video, we take you through one of the most iconic hiking spots in New York. From the incredible shale formations to the 19 waterfalls along the path, it’s a must-see for any nature lover.

My personal highlight was definitely seeing the "backside of water" – there’s nothing quite like walking behind a cascading waterfall!

Pro-Tips for your visit:

Gear Up: Make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes. The path is often wet and can be very slippery in certain sections.
Beat the Crowds: This is a popular destination, so it can get quite crowded. If you can, plan your visit during the week for a more peaceful experience.
Enjoy the hike and let us know your favorite spot in the comments!
