Located at the bottom of Seneca Lake, it takes us 45 minutes to drive the distance and find the main parking area. We opt to check out the souvenir shop first and are disappointed that none say Finger Lakes, so we find another down the road (which works), drive another 5 miles to get food before settling in for the small hike.

Every region we’ve been to has its own charm and finding out what that is makes the journey so worth the while.   Tomorrow morning we check out and venture our way back home, which is bittersweet. We really have enjoyed our time but can’t wai...
