Our Visit to Letchworth State Park




Letchworth State Park is known around these parts as the "Grand Canyon of the East". It is quite a site and a beautiful place to visit.

Here we are looking at the story board about how the park was formed. The park is about 18 miles long.

Well it took us this long to get here after the detour to the aircraft museum but it has been a most worthwell day thusfar.


Syrena getting a birds eye view of the canyon




Elder Parkerson standing on the overlook viewing the falls.




Syrena taking a break along the path that runs along much of the canyon.

John, Sister Parkerson, Syrena, and Kate pausing to view the middle falls. There are three main waterfalls along the park. Upper, lower and middle falls. They are all spectacular but the middle falls is probably more so.





Syrena by the brooklet that flows into the river that runs through the park.







The middle falls with a beautiful pair of rainbows cast by the mist from the falls. Unfortunatly the camera could only catch one of them.







Well Syrena had to teach the dog, Lilly, how to jump over the puddle. Lilly didn't want to get wet.









A somewhat rare picture of Elder & Sister Parkerson. Usually one of us is taking the picture. It was a beautiful day here at the park. The camer can not catch the beauty that the eye can see.








A quiet moment along the trail.








This is a unusual shot of Kate's John. We think he's trying to catch the rainbow to bring to Kate!











He was successful and she apppreciated the gift :-)
