Holiday Hike

So, about a week or so ago my family went on a hike to this "Stone Church" it was a waterfall. 
The “Stone Church” is an ancient cavern on the Stone Church Brook in Dover Plains hewn by time in the formation similar to a church’s cathedral stained glass window. 
According to local legend, the site was a refuge for Pequot Sachem Sassacus and his warriors as they fled from the English Army in the 1600s.  
In the 1800 and early 1900s, the Stone Church was a popular local attraction for New York City dwellers to visit and enjoy the recuperative fresh air and beauty of upstate New York.
The beauty of the cave and the hike around the area was out of breath literally. I was out of breath. The view was amazing as we left the cave and took a hike up. I do want to say that the History of the church is just amazing as we walked up to the Cave and I could just imagine the native Americans hiding away in the cave away from the English.
