After Fallingwater, we made a couple of stops at the waterfalls in Ohiopyle State Park.
The first was the Ohiopyle falls. They are pretty, wide, have rocky formations over which the water flows, and also visible from the main road. The visitor's center is near by and with the viewing platforms built to enjoy it, it seems a little detached from nature.

The Cucumber falls, a short 2 minute drive away and slightly off the main road, was just lovely. These falls are small, but beautiful. Watching water fall into an emerald pool, listening to the sounds of the falls, enveloped in its mist, is all so mesmerizing, I just sat on a rock at the base of the falls, enthralled. I could have sat there for hours.
