Re: NYFalls Outing Ideas

We can do Letchworth this upcoming weekend. The Arts Fest is going on so it will be crowded (getting in, parking, trails) but at least everything will be open and there will be some nice things to eat (nice= greasy).
Another option would be Stony Brook
Sunday the 12th would be best for me.

Re: The Letchworth Railway Bridge

I'm thinking... if people go up there to walk it anyways, why not build a fenced-in walkway on it. It would be a huge draw. I agree completely. Ever since I was a kid and visited the park it has been one of my destination points of interest. If they decide to reroute the trains, I would hope they w...

Re: The Letchworth Railway Bridge

Bridge to the past There is little debate after 132 years of holding tens of thousands of pounds of train weight a day, the Portageville Bridge in Letchworth State Park needs to be repaired. The state Department of Transportation (DOT) is calling on citizens and public groups to aide in the decision ...

Re: NYFalls Outing Ideas

I'd be interested to car-pool to Letchworth.
Could meet at Marketplace mall Henrietta before sun-up
Possible open dates 9/28, 10/5, 10/7, 10/11

Alternate ideas: Oatka Park or Mendon Ponds Park, same dates, easier travels.

Re: The Letchworth Railway Bridge

I hope they keep it. I remember walking up there when I was a kid. Sadly when I went last fall the bridge was fenced off so you couldn't walk on it. Hopefully I will be able to get out on it this year, it would be a great perspective for some photos of the falls.

Re: A top 5 must see?

... but still a state park :) 20+ falls. Probably great in the fall. Stony Brook State Park - 8 falls of various sizes. can be combined with a trip to Letchworth. They're fairly close.

Fall get together?

I was wondering if other members would be up for a trip out to Letchworth or some other area park to take photos this fall. It would be a great chance to meet some of you as well as share some knowledge. I have a couple shots that I want to retake with ...

Re: Caroline's at the Glen Iris - Letchworth State Park

I finally got a chance to eat at the Glen Iris, or Caroline’s at the Glen Iris (as it is officially called). Our party arrived after an hour long hike, and although the setting in the Glen Iris is formal, they have no problem catering to us and the other guests in shorts and T-shirts. I wonder if it...

Re: A couple from Letchworth

Great exposure... DOF is excellent and exposure is spot on. Well done! So what about The larger falls any shots of those? I'm eager to see more. An welcome to the forum! Thank you for the kind feedback. Here is one of middle falls: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3228/2715917532_fccb714f61_o.jpg
