From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cumberland Falls, sometimes called the Little Niagara, the Niagara of the South, or the Great Falls, is a large waterfall on the Cumberland River in southeastern Kentucky.
On average the falls, which flow over a resistant sandstone bed, are 68 feet (21 m) high and 125 feet (38 m) wide, with an average water flow of 3,600 cubic feet per second (100 m³/s). [2]
Under a full moon on clear nights, an elusive lunar rainbow or moonbow is sometimes formed by the mist emanating from the falls.[3]
We won't stay for the moonbows, since the forecast is for rain tonight.
Cumberland Falls behind us. Mostly cloudy today, but the sun did peek through several times and we got to see rainbows in the mist.
A short video of the falls.
If you look closely you can see a rainbow close to the water. This is probably the best picture we got.
Well, we are basically in Corbin, KY, home of the Colonel Sanders, founder of KFC. And there is a quaint little museum here that we had to visit in order to make Corbin a complete stop.
He looks a little pale, probably needs to get out in the sun more and stop working so hard! Hee Hee!
