2022_210_walking_to_the_lower_falls_lower_overlook_by_pearwood_dfa7lo5

After I finished at the footbridge I back up to the main deck then up another twenty feet or so to the path through the woods to the Lower Falls overlook. The main overlook is impressive, but it's still too high to get a good photograph of the falls. (The best place to see the entire falls is from up on the gorge path.)

 

There is another path, unofficial but well worn, to a lower overlook. It isn't treacherous by any means, but it still a place where a look down along the way will remind one to be careful.

 

Wednesday, July 13 I got back to the Letchworth State Park Lower Falls area, which was still closed off when I hiked trail 1 in early June. I drove through rain showers on my way there but had no rain after I started walking. It was still overcast at the beginning of my walk with beautiful subdued lighting at the beginning and bright sun later on.
