About this postcard

A narrow, rock-walled glen with a dark cave-like opening at the left in a pale, striated cliff. A rutted road curves away between steep banks under dense trees. The printed caption reads 'Cavern Road, Near Mauch Chunk'; the scene is Glen Onoko, a ravine above the Lehigh River near Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe), Pennsylvania, a popular excursion ground in the early 1900s reached by the Switchback Railroad.
