Not the Old Erie Canal

A lot of the trail, especially through the notch south of Grand Gorge reminds me of the Old Erie Canal, although it never was a canal -- it's just the East Branch Delaware River is channeled between the old rail grade and state highway.

Been thinking about checking out more of the Catskill Scenic Trail this weekend, although nothing is set in stone yet. Looks like better weather in the Catskills then up north.
