A video of my day out to Lover's Leap at Cameron Park. Lover's Leap is a large limestone rock formation overlooking the Bosque River in Waco, Texas. One of the few interesting sites this city has to offer.

  • And it was here that the couple, cornered and facing the vengeance and "demoniac yells" of her father and fellow tribesmen, made their fateful decision, recorded by Lamar West in 1912. "Quick Wah-Wah-Tee and her lover, in the last embrace of love and death, sprang from the cliff into the maddened waves below, since which dreadful night it has been known as Lovers Leap ," West wrote in a widely reproduced booklet, The Legend of Lovers Leap.

  • The story behind Lovers Leap is, It was on this cliff that the fair maiden Wah-Wah-Tee, daughter of the chief of the Wacos, stood in the moonlight embracing her secret Romeo, a brave from the enemy Apache tribe, according to the legend.
