Highlights:
The Finger Lakes region has a long history and is very famous for Watkins-Glen S.P., which is famous for its canyons, and the rock formations eroded by water for thousands of years give people a great visual impact. A mile-long hiking trail in the park will encounter nineteen spectacular waterfalls, and along the way, you can clearly see the rock formations eroded by the water flow for thousands of years, which is amazing.
