Exploring the wilder side of New York
New York state isn’t all skyscrapers and teeming crowds. The Empire State is home to a diverse geography, including some remarkably scenic places that were around back on July 26, 1788, when New York officially joined the Union. In honor of New York’s statehood day, we’re at Letchworth State Park, a picturesque expanse near Rochester that follows the Genesee River some 17 miles through a deep gorge that’s known as the ‘Grand Canyon of the East.’
