Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Katiya, I've been to Watkins Glen State Park in NY. I couldn't take the smile off my face as I took in the beauty of nature in that place, as we hiked thru it. One of the unique gems that is a must see. Just loved it and how easy they made it access this beautiful place for anyone http://nyfalls.com/watkinsglensp.html http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=105 Watkins Glen is the type of setting you would expect to find in a fantasy film rather than upstate NY. Its carved tunnels, sculpted walkways and timeless bridges wind through an ancient valley. Water cuts through the steep gorge, creating a variety of waterfalls and microhabitats along the way. The sun barely reaches through in places, while in others, water instead pours from above. The winding creek creates both small wonders in the hidden corners of the park to large cathedrals of rock along the gorge trail. Despite its heavy traffic, Watkins Glen is a breathtakingly peaceful experience. A world-class destination, kept secret in upstate NY. If you can only see one of the many beautiful places features here, make it this one. Yours to Enjoy, Judy - Katiya Monday, February 09, 2009 7:28 AM Re: vegetarian get-a-ways Steph try this link, this may be it....www.farmsanctuary.org or read this to see if it jogs your memory. Our 175-acre New York farm is set amidst rolling green hills and forests in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York. We are located next door to Sugar Hill State Forest, just west of Watkins Glen. It is a 45-minute drive west of Ithaca and a 1½-hour drive southeast of Rochester. In addition to caring for hundreds of animals, Farm Sanctuary's New York facility receives thousands of visitors every year. The " People Barn, " a unique visitor center, is filled with displays, literature and videos. It also includes the " Kids' Korner " and gift shop, where visitors will find a variety of items, including books, videos, posters and vegetarian snacks. Good Luck Katiya I know many of you get Vegetarian Time. Last year they had an article on a Farm Sanctuary in New York that was a Bed and Breakfast. I would absolutely love to go there for my Anniversary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sounds like a place I would like to visit during the late Spring or summer months! I may have to try the California location as I live closer to that one but I do love NY... Katiya I've been to Watkins Glen State Park in NY.
