Abounding in forests, pastoral valleys, ravines and dingles, cascades and water-scenes of every description, these mountains in all their varied forms present some of the most beautiful and sublime scenery in the whole range. Glen Ellis Fall (No. 120 of this series) for its picturesque beauty and peculiar formation has long since been the favorite resort of tourists and artists. The stream is formed by the union of two mountain torrents. The volume of cascades as it tumbles over the numerous precipices in its course is a charming scene, which, although possessing a certain amount of wildness, is romantic and secluded in its nature; 'yet not so wild that it... for sorrow's shelter made, but secluded enough to lead the mind to hope.' 'How divine the liberty for frail, for mortal man, from schemes of business, and the urban hum, to move amid these unpeopled glens, and mountainous retirements only trod by ruder feet, and step! Religious consecrate to oldest time.'"Item Type: Stereoview
