Seh-ga-hun-da

Seh-ga-hun-da is Seneca for "The Vale of the Three Falls" (two of which you can see in this shot). This is the gorge all the hot air balloons sailed into. We were a bit north from this vantage point. Here you can see the Upper and Middle Falls as well as the Highbridge, a railroad trestle that is still in use. The Upper Falls are a deep horseshoe shape and 70 feet high. They are somewhat hidden here. The Middle Falls have changed very little in appearance over the years due to its erosion resistant sandstone. The Seneca believed that the great beauty of "Ska-ga-dee" inspired the sun to stop at midday at the wonder of it all. But I liked what one of the dedication plaques by the path at this overlook said, "God wrought for us this scene beyond compare but one man's loving hand (meaning William Pryor Letchworth of whom the State Park is named) protected it and gave it to his fellow man to share".
What a beautiful sight! Beautiful shot!
