Examples
After a weekend bombing the turns at Watkins Glen International, my car—and my ego—needed a serious pit stop.
Hiking Watkins Glen State Park felt like nature's way of saying, 'Hold my waterfalls while I drop this epic gorge on you.'
We road-tripped to Watkins Glen for the race, but ended up more excited about the state park's slippery stones than the checkered flag.
