~Glade Creek Crist Mill located in Babcock State Park is so well known for its beautiful Fall foliage, cascading falls and rocky terrain, that thousands of photographers flock there yearly. But after the leaves have fallen and the crowds subside, the mill sits by itself surrounded in its own barren beauty. We were one of three people there!~
