Today we took a ride to see the Ausable Chasm. It is a sandstone gorge and the Ausable River runs through it, and then empties into Lake Champlain. You could pay a fee to walk through the gorge, but we decided not to based on the seven tour buses that were in the parking lot. Instead, we just admired it from the highway. We then drove toward the City of Essex on Lake Champlain. There is a ferry that goes between Essex and Charlotte, Vermont across Lake Champlain. While we were watching the ferry, a bald eagle soared in and landed on the beach about 25 feet from we were standing. I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of it flying, but was able to take a picture of it on the beach. We continued exploring the countryside the remainder of the day. Once back at the campground, I went for a hike to the Flume Waterfalls on the back side of the campground.
