Steep gorge overlooks, rocky cliffs and the Genesee River make Highbanks Trail near the Mt. Morris entrance a rich landscape subject — dramatic vistas, river rapids, maples for fall color and winter ice formations. Park at the West Trailhead lot (park entry fee applies), expect uneven, sometimes steep trails; best light is golden hour at sunrise or sunset. Visit weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds; spring runoff and autumn foliage offer peak visuals.
