Watkins Glen State Park has been on my travel list for a long time now. Early this year some friends of mine invited me to their family lake house. When I looked up the location I was surprised to see that it was 25 minutes from Watkins Glen. When I talked to all the travelers about going to the state park they didn’t seem too excited but I knew I needed to go since I was so close.

So on the morning of the 4th of July I headed out at 6:00 hoping to catch some of the morning light in the slot canyon. When I got there the trail was light with traffic but I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to be the only one on the hike so I set out.

Luckily the light was amazing and I was able to get the shot I came for. I was glad this trip worked out with the location and I could finally take Watkins Glen off my travel list.
