Gully I
Some passages require a wade, others have elaborate walkways with bridges. I initially wanted to call these ravines. Upon researching the term discovered while ravines are formed by erosion, the scale here is much smaller. I could rename Enfield Gorge, to Enfield Ravine.
Gully II
These shots were hand held. I used a Sony Alpha 700 dslr with a variable “zoom” lens, great for framing compositions.

It can be quite pleasant on a bright early spring day with the right footwear and coat/hat and different than summer, fewer people though even in summer that trail is not crowded weekdays. The Gorge Trail opens late spring/early summer.
