Quechee Gorge by olivetreeann

Quechee Gorge

Quechee Gorge is called "The Grand Canyon of Vermont". This picture does give you an idea of how deeply it's cut through the earth, but it really doesn't do it justice. The sky was a bit overcast so I ended up bringing out the beautiful fall colors in post processing. If you look carefully you will see little dots in the farthest section of the gorge- those are people!
Such a beautiful place.

Really beautiful colors and this is a gorgeous place. The people at the top of the photo help to give a concept of the depth and size of this gorge.

Spectacular view. I had to view it large to see the people, but they really give it scale. I miss the fall colors of the Northeast....

Beautiful shot of the gorge, Ann! It's quite a hike down to the the gorge itself where those people are! I was going to try it one year, but there was no way I could have made it back up if I'd gone down! Very pretty fall colors! You've done the Gorge proud! And it appears you've made the PP! Congrats!

@cimes1 Thank you again Carole! And thanks again for the fav- it really is fun to see it on the PP!
@moreyoulessme Thank you Jerri!
@prttblues Thank you Bev! And thanks for steering us in this direction! We really enjoyed seeing it. I knew that I wouldn't be able to make it down the steeper side, so we walked out the trail that led to the reservoir and falls. While I was taking some shots of the reflections in the water, another couple came by and we got to talking with them and they sent us on a short cut to see the Quechee Covered Bridge and that's where we saw the hot air balloons. Great day all around!
@homeschoolmom Thanks Lisa! I highly recommend it- and it's not too far from the NH border- just a few minutes off I-89/I-91. I bet it looks pretty in the spring/summer too.
@yonnie Thanks Yvonne! And thank you so much for the fav!!
@pflaume Thanks Lisa! And thank you for the fav too!
