| Exploring Zoar Valley On the weekend of October 31, 2004 Photos by Jamie Montanus, Rochester NY Zoar Valley is a wilderness rugged area surrounding deep gorges carved over the millenia by the Cattaragus Creek. The creek winds along the bottom of the gorge, with walls rising more than 100 feet. There are sparkling waterfalls cascading through the woods from the cliffs to the valley floor. Zoar Valley boasts anceint trees, rarely seen forest creatures, and a slate-bedded creek within vistas which are unmatched in their natural beauty.
