"...the pool itself, a man-made marvel carved out of the rocky hillside in the 1930s by a group of outdoors enthusiasts calling themselves the Nature Friends.

On three sides, it’s a basic concrete swimming pool (albeit Olympic size and surrounded by dense forest), but on its far side, it butts up against rock and woods, where understory plants dip delicately into the water."
