I went with my partner to the Natural Stone Bridge & Caves park in the Adirondacks for their birthday. They love rocks and geology, and really wanted to go here.

From what they told me, this park was originally gifted to a family as thanks for their efforts in the American Revolutionary War, and after a long time as a sawmill, later members of the family converted it to a park.

The cave behind us is made of marble, and was formed from a collapse several decades ago—I think in the 90s.

My partner standing in the aptly-named “Noisy Cave,” which resounded with rushing water.

This area was down in a gorge between two banks. Everything around us was rocks.
