With or without notice, fall is slipping away fast. Yet, 16 UPK residents and friends were lucky enough to grasp some of the best scenes of the season on Sunday, Oct 25th during a group trip to the famous Letchworth state park. Located about 40 minutes drive south of Rochester, Letchworth is also known as “the grand canyon of the east”. After a brief lunch, most of the participants hiked along the famous three falls, which are surrounded by colorful foliage and cozy sunshine.
Sign up for a trip to the beautiful letchworth! Have you noticed that the foilages around are having amazing colors at this time of the year? Preveliged only in the north east, this fall scene won’t last long before the winter sneaks in. Such a beauty will be more breath-catching in a state park, e.g., Letchworth (a.k.a. the grand canyon of the east).
