The Plunge

This view has been a favorite for artists of all media ever since Thomas Cole first illustrated it in his early 19th-century painting, "From the Top of Kaaterskill Falls", which helped drive the American art scene through the middle of the 1800s. Although the scene is now easier to access than ever – it's a 5 minute stroll from the parking lot, at a leisurely pace – it continues to inspire and dazzle.
