Watkins Glen State Park Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks located on the edge of the village of Watkins Glen, New York, south of Seneca Lake in Schuyler County. The main feature of the park is the hiking trail that climbs up through the gorge, passing over and under waterfalls. The park has a lower part that is next to the village and an upper part that is open woodland. Watkins Glen State Park is in a 400-foot-deep narrow gorge cut through rock by a stream that was left hanging when glaciers of the Ice age deepened the Seneca valley, increasing the tributary stream gradient to create rapids and waterfalls wherever there were layers of hard rock. The rocks of the area are sedimentary of Devonian age that are part of a dissected plateau that was uplifted with little faulting or distortion. They consist mostly of soft shales, with some layers of harder sandstone and limestone The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade.

World's Best Ski Resorts Tons of white fluff, proper elevation, vast skiable area and plenty of lifts – these are the prerequisites. But an ideal ski vacation is as much about whizzing down well-groomed slopes as about enjoying oneself afterwards. When we speak of world's best ski resorts we mean places that combine excellent conditions, scenic routes, ample off-piste opportunities and a unique après-ski scene to give your sore body a little bit of pampering. Zermatt may be quite small but as the highest altitude snow sport location in the Alps, it is definitely one of Europe's premier ski resorts, with legendary slopes to schuss on all year round, amazing alpine vistas, comfy accommodation and brilliant cuisine to complete the picture. What adds to the experience is that Zermatt is a completely car-free village and there are few places in the world that can truly match its Après Ski splendor of 38 mountain restaurants, most of which offer unobstructed views of the sublime Matterhorn.

Marvel at the Magnificent Marble Caves [35 PICS] Can you imagine something happening that would endanger these exquisite azure caverns? It might if Chile continues with plans to build five hydro-power dams in Patagonia. Photo #7 by © Jorge Leon Cabello The water has eroded the marble to create cavities and marble caves. Amazing geological formations on Chilean side of Lake Carrera.
