Two Times at Grimes Glen Park
Naples, New York
July 5, 2023

With two visits in three days, Grimes Glen Park may just become my favorite day trip from Rochester. The easy streambed hike delivers you to not one but two 60-foot waterfalls surrounded by gorge walls. And you can step under their powerful force. Also–discovered there was a tree fossil over 350 million years old. The 1882 discovery is now displayed at the New York State Museum in Albany.

Shower time


Bring water shoes, a bathing suit and a towel as you’ll regret not having these to enjoy the trail.
