Deep within the heart of the Finger Lakes region, this scenic view captures the ethereal beauty of Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen. This landmark is famous for its thin veil of water that cascades over a ledge; as the back of the card explains, brilliant rainbows flash in the mist when caught by the afternoon summer sunlight. The illustration features the park's iconic stone bridge and winding cliffside stairways, highlighting the masterfully integrated masonry that allows visitors to walk directly behind the falls for a truly immersive experience.
