She-Qua-Ga Falls (Montour Falls) During my visit, I noticed a Louis XVIII of France sign at the start of the short path to the falls. It turned out that he sketched this waterfall when he was in exhile prior to becoming the "citizen king" of France. That sketch is now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, which is quite cool considering an obscure waterfall like this can be seen by millions of people today in one of the greatest art galleries in the world! It's yet another example of history meeting nature, which was the sense I got when exploring nature in the Eastern US. We managed to see the falls flowing in mid-June, but I can totally see this waterfall go dry or trickle later in the Summer. I'm betting that Spring is the best time to see this falls.
