Waterfalls
Description
"It is small wonder that this gill, or gorge, has been named Dungeon. It seems like an entrance to some dark, damp, underground cell where shackled unfortunates might be cast to suffer slow death. But the ribbon of waterfall, holding a glint of sunshine, turns the mind to the more cheerful contemplations of hope and beauty and life. This fall is really romantically situated in the narrow gorge, hemmed in by vertical walls, and makes a perpendicular descent of about 70 feet. Above the fall is a curious natural bridge formed by two rocks firmly wedged between the sides of the ravine. This gorge is the best starting point for the ascent of the two Langdale Peaks which are 2323 feet and 2401 feet in height."
