Visit the roadside stand to purchase grapes from the vineyard during the autumn.
Look for trail markers indicating the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) and North Country National Scenic Trail (NCT). NCT is a 4,600 mile footpath from New York state to North Dakota.
The FLT is indicated by white hash marks.
Emerging from the mixed hardwood forest to the old railroad bed in a small meadow.
Following the ridge in the pine forest, catch glimpses of Mitchellsville Creek far below. The steepness of the gorge is indicated by the pine tree growing up the side of the ridge.
Angled trees highlight the edge of the ridge along the trail.
After the vineyard, the path gently wanders through a mixed hardwood forest.
