    Day 175: Land Of Many Stairs

    The first time we came to visit New York State, about a year ago, we came to experience the famous Watkins Glen. We never realized how many other impressive Glens and Gorges there are here with waterfalls cascading all along them. You could spend days here visiting them all.
