This quiet valley abounded formerly in nooks and glimpses of great beauty. The progress of improvement has stripped the banks of Rondout Kill of many a clump of elms, and let the garish day-light into many a recess then shaded by overhanging sycamores and willows. The Shawangunk mountain is seen in the distance--in the notch of which, and under the high point lies the Lake, (for a view of which see No. 13.)
