8/13/2022 - Trip to OK Slip Falls

Beautiful day for a ride on the motorcycle so I was looking for some falls that I hadn't been to yet and this came up.  A quick search for the location on Google Maps showed it was about a 2 hour ride and the post I read claimed it was a 3 hour roundtrip easy hike.  Turned out to be a 3 hour ride, over an hour and a half hike out, and over 2 hour return hike!  I certainly wouldn't have minded at all except there was so little water flowing over, it wasn't worth attempting to climb down the gorge trail.  I may have even gone down there if I wasn't alone...

Parking Location (The Falls): ///assumptions.whisper.arrows

Site Notes: There are several locations you can hike to from this parking lot.  All require a short walk along NY Route 28 to the trailhead.  Definitely not accessible in any fashion.  Very peaceful hike and not overly difficult though there is a lot of elevation change along the way.

Notes: Not associated with the falls at all, just a beautiful view at a rest stop on the way there.  Stopped because it was taking longer than claimed.

Notes: Just thought it was neat looking and wasn't sure what it was.  Turns out I've never seen the caterpillar of a monarch butterfly...

Notes: Took this just to be sure I had something in focus as I couldn't figure out where the DSLR auto-focus would pick to focus.

Notes: Another with nothing to do with the falls.  Stopped at a rest stop to swap gloves due to my Raynauds.  The sun was setting and hitting the trees in a very neat way.
