A couple came here on honeymoon in the early 1950s. She climbed onto one of the pillars at the overlook for a last photograph of the falls.

In the early 1950s a bride and groom came to Cumberland Falls State Park in Kentucky for their honeymoon.

They had been at the falls and decided to walk the park trails. Coming down through them they reached one of the overlooks, positioned so that the view back toward the falls is as good as it gets anywhere in the park. It is the obvious place to stop and take a photograph, and everybody does.

She climbed up onto one of the pillars for the picture.

Cumberland Falls is a substantial waterfall in a deep gorge, and the overlooks are built above a long drop. What happened next is what the park has carried since.

The woman reported at the overlook is described in white, which visitors invariably read as a wedding dress.

The park is one of the most visited in Kentucky, known for its moonbow, and thousands of people stand at that overlook every year. The pillars are still there and people still climb them for photographs.
