Monkey Run, nature preserve

I went for a hike today with friends down the south side of the old Monkey Run Road (coming off Route 366 above Varna) and then west along a trail above Fall Creek that went through the nature preserve to the Cornell research fields along 366, then along the old railroad bed to the start of the hike. Here are a few highlight pictures, and I've posted a gallery as well. It's well worth a look. Fall Creek has carved itself a dramatic home.

If the pictures intrigue you, the actual trail is much nicer and well worth a visit.
