Further up Glade Run, is one of
the most beautiful stream locations I have seen. Lunch
Break Rock, below The Second Falls, is an excellent location
to sit in the overwhelming solitude of the forest.
Here, you can relax and listen to the falling water and other
sounds of the wilderness. This is a good place to pull your lunch from your
pack and give thanks as you refuel your famished body with
food, rest and communion with your creator.
The Second Falls exhibits classic shelf rock structure, much like that of the Niagara American and Bridal Veil Falls. In fact, when viewed up close, as in the images below, Glade Run's Second Falls looks very much like a miniature model of the American Falls. Note the hard rock shelf, supported by softer rock below as shown in the "Classic Falls Structure" picture. The soft rock is eroded more quickly and causes the falls face to develop and move up stream as the undermined shelf collapses. Rubble from such collapses is evident at the base of the falls. Just like that found at the American Falls at Niagara. |
