Part of our New York weekend was a trip down one of the largest NY Finger Lakes - Seneca Lake to Watkins Glen. About 2 hour drive south of Rochester through beautiful countryside, wineries and charming small towns.
Seneca Lake stretches about 37 miles south, very narrow and super long lake, with the small town of Watkins Glen on the south shore. "Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks. Within two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade."
The day was cold, cloudy and hazy. We didn't have a nice weather on our little road trip, but at least it didn't rain much, and the autumn foliage was just amazing, as you can see the colors on the pictures. Golden and res leaves covered with the mist of waterfalls... It was a really beautiful trail.
On the way back we made few stop to the local wineries along the western side of the Seneca Lake. Wine tasting was exactly what we needed after this chili hike up the gore. I purchased few bottles of pretty decent desert wine. It's hard to get a good desert wine, and once you find something you like might as well get it. I had a chance to snap few photographs and even ate some grapes...
