    Nice series of shots. I'd have to say the last one is my favorite.

    Nice shots. I also like the last one best.

    It's been years since I went to Watkins Glen, what a beautiful place.

    I'll have to go back and look at the pictures that I took there. I went there soon after I bought my first SLR.

    Hey GF... what the story on this place? all that stone work, that wasnt made just so's folks could go look at water falls, was it? it reminds me of some old fortress of some kind.

    History from NYfalls.com

    Converted to a state park in 1906, Watkins Glen was previously a happening mill site, then private tourist resorts (Glen Mountain House and Swiss Chalet). Formally known as Jefferson, NY as dubbed by the founder Dr. Samuel Watkins, a prominent land owner in the area. Portions of the trails you walk were once used by native Americans to traverse the glen. They have been developed by the state with natural stone masonry and enhanced with tunnels in the early half of the 1900's.
    The town's name was changed in honor of the founder shortly after his death in 1852. Due to the notoriety of the Glen, another change took place when the Postal Service changed it in the registry as people commonly addressed letters to Watkins Glen instead.
