Prepare to be transported as you descend into a world carved from stone and water. The Gorge Trail at Watkins Glen is a truly magical 1.5-mile walk that takes you past 19 breathtaking waterfalls, over picturesque stone bridges, and even behind the cascading water itself. You'll climb more than 800 stone steps as the trail winds through the narrow gorge, revealing a new, stunning vista around every corner. Plan for about two to three hours to complete the full loop, as you'll want to stop frequently for photos and simply to soak in the awe-inspiring scenery.
