Hiking in the park is like hiking in the Grand Canyon. You start by going a long way down, a lot of times
on switch backs, and then you have to hike back up to get back to the starting point.

Heading down on the Dark Hollow Falls trail.
The trail is a 1.8 mi round trip and 543' vertical drop.
Its like hiking down to the river at Letchworth from
the campground. Easy for you, hard for us.

Resting on the way down
allows you to mark the good spots to
rest at on the way back up.

A view of the valley below.
During the Civil War the Confederate army came up from the valley below
through this notch with
27000 men, their wagons & cannons to get to the valley on the other side.
