Text Appearing Before Image:
The Lehigh Mountains ai-e sorich in romantic scenery, thatmore places of interest have al-ready been opened to the travelerin this region than in any otherof equal extent in Pennsylvania,while much still remains to re-viard the explorer. MooresRavine, with its wealth ofbeauty, was all unknown to fameuntil the summer of 1872, whenan article in Lippincotts Mag-azine called attention to it, andit remained a tangled labyrinthofrock and brush until the follow-ing season. The grand sceneryof Upper Lehigh was a secretwith a chosen few until the sametime, and many nooks like StonyCreek, full of the most pictur-esque scenery, still await nameand mention in the mountainfastnesses.

Between these two sen-tinel peaks lies Amber Glen,or Glen Thomas (for it bears CLOUD POINT, UPPLR LLHlGll. both names), a romantic spot, darkwith the shade of tall hemlocks andfilled with enormous masses ofloose rock, many of them as largeas a small house ; while betweenthe rocks and round the roots of thehemlocks prattles a beautiful littlestream whose tawny waters havegiven the glen its better name andcaused the loveliest bit of the streamto be called Amber Cascade.
