Hello Again
Ok so...I initially made an account over a month ago and conviently forgot the passwod to, so I figured I could just start over.
So, first of all I would like to thank all the folks who came out last night and made us feel so welcome. It was fabulous to do a little socializing and good to find some seamingly down to earth people.
Sooooo...I was thinking while the weather is nice I would like to do some hiking, and I've heard of some canyon outside if Buffalo that is crazy huge...I don't know what it's called but someone referred to it as the Grand Canyon of the East. Anyone know what I am talking about and where it is? I certainly would also take suggestions as to other good places to get out of the city. I must admit, I am a country girl as I've never lived in a city before, so I need a little nature in my life to keep me sane.
Also, now that I have met some of you and know that you are in fact real human beings, I think I might be more inclined to be a part of this community.
Now, back to Animal Planet.

It took about 1.5 hours to drive there using directions from Google Maps. Vehicle entry/parking fee is $6 for the day, with re-entry privileges, unless you have a NY Empire State Park pass. Six bucks (plus gas and a bagged lunch) was a very good value. To call it a "Grand Canyon" is pushing it a bit but it is defintely beautiful and well worth the effort.
Hint: Some of the best views along the Gorge Trail (Trail 1, of many) are in so-called "Hazardous Areas". If you're confident of your footing and there's no park ranger around, consider accepting the risks and going the extra few steps.

The site refers to Letchworth as "GC of the East". I've only been there once and never hiked. It's gorgeous, stunning. A few hours drive from Bflo, well worth it!
