What Niagara Falls State Park can double for
Watkins Glen State Park in Watkins Glen, New York
The Gorge Trail runs over, under and along the glen's 19 waterfalls by stone bridges and more than 800 stone steps. The wooded rim trails give the same mix of stone, water and trees as the Niagara rim. The glen is a narrow gorge, so wide frames give the comparison away. Shoot tight on the bridges and steps. Try searching stone bridges and steps now.
Old Man's Cave in Logan, Ohio
The main trail follows a gorge and crosses several waterfalls on stone arched bridges, so water and carved rock share the frame. The namesake cave is an overhanging recess with trails passing inside it. The gorge runs about half a mile and is divided into five sections, so a wide shot of the Niagara gorge will not match it. Keep frames on the bridges and the water. Try searching stone arched bridges now.
