Nevertheless,there is a class of tourists who admire Havana Glen even more than its great cascades of which illustrations are furnished are but two of many which thetourist will meet with, in rapid succession, as he ascends it. The same system ofstairways and ladders prevails as at Watkins; but these aids to progress are fewerin the former, and the paths broader. The glen, moreover, is short, as comparedwith Watkins, while the height, from the level of the valley to the table-land above, ismuch less. In the early summer months the volume of water is greater than that atWatkins; but it is said to shrink almost to a thread during the heats of July andAugust, while that of Watkins, being fed from bold springs far up the mountain, ismuch more permanent, though subject to the influence of the Gothic Arch, Watkins Glen.
