towards the quiet waters of Lake 

 Champlain. Interesting in itself as 

 well as in its location, Ausable Chasm 

 is but one of a system of fissures that 

 have torn the earth's surface in the 

 northern part of the state. 



Winding in and out between beauti- 

 ful green shores and fed by many 

 mountain streams, the Great Ausable 

 River rapidly becomes one of the wild-

 through the solid sandstone and 

 plunges into the Chasm in a series of 

 beautiful cascades and falls, from sixty 

 to eighty feet in height, where it goes 

 foaming, whirling and tearing over its 

 rocky bed until released from the gi-

 the entrance to the Chasm are the 

 Rainbow Falls, the most beautiful of 

 all. A little lower down we came to 

 the Horseshoe Falls, their circular 

 shape suggesting the name. The 

 camera girl, when we set forth to ex-
