Letchworth State Park

Saturday we took a drive to Letchworth State Park, also know as "the Grand Canyon of the east." It is about an hour south of Rochester. Right when we drove in there was a pull over/overlook spot with a great view of the canyon. It was very vast (although not nearly as large as the actual Grand Canyon). The biggest difference was all the greenery. Here there are trees growing all up the walls and this gives it a very different look.

At one end of the park there are three waterfalls. We walked to each of them and had fun taking lots of pictures--trying out our camera and the "lessons" from the family reunion.

On our way home we stopped at a little pizzeria in one of the towns near the park. Next time though we will plan ahead better and pack a picnic lunch because the park has tons of different sites with picnic tables. It was a fun day, made all the better by the beautiful 70 degree weather.
