Heads Up
- 1. Ensure you have a valid passport or NEXUS card for the multiple border crossings between the USA and Canada.
- 2. August is peak season; book boat tours and popular state park parking in advance to avoid long wait times.
- 3. Pack waterproof gear and sturdy hiking shoes for the mist zones and gorge trails in Watkins Glen and Letchworth.
- 4. Check local traffic conditions near the Rainbow Bridge as border wait times can fluctuate significantly during summer weekends.
