Today is my final full day in the Finger Lakes, tomorrow I plan to take down camp fairly early in the morning and head home.🏡 It’s remarkable to think a week has come and gone so quickly. Now that it’s finally warmed up, I expect everything to be melting away quickly.💧

Today I’m thinking about hiking back to Lucifer Falls then visiting Montour Falls and Watkins Glen and possibly doing some of the rim trail,🏃 although with the warmer temperatures and the normal humidity in the glen I doubt it will look like a winter wonderland.
