Terrain:
The Gorge trail is all stone work with a few bridges and stairs. It is relatively easy compared to other trails.

Scenery:
The Gorge Trail is far more scenic than the Rim Trail at Watkins Glen.  At two points the trail goes behind a waterfall.  The rim trail borders St Mary's Cemetery which is a worthwhile sight that overlooks the town below.
