Cedar Falls




Sender: Julia

Text on card: Cedar Falls, Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas
Cedar Falls is the best known natural waterfall in Arkansas. This 95 foot gusher spills into Cedar Creek. It is located in Petit Jean State Park Southwest of Morrilton.

I thought Arkansas was an icy cold place, so I am proved wrong. This card shows a sunny view! I read that Petit Jean Mountain is known for the legend of Petit Jean, the story of a French girl who disguised herself as a boy and secretly accompanied her sweetheart, an early explorer, to the New World and to the mountain (romantic story but a sad ending to her though). Petit Jean State Park is atop this mountain.
