 Cumberland Falls & the Moonbow Breakfast 7 a.m. - 10 a.m.Lunch 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.Dinner 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. At 38m wide and 18m high, Cumberland Falls is known as the Niagara of the South, crashing into a boulder-strewn gorge and kicking up enough mist to create colourful rainbows during the day and milky moonbows on clear nights over the full moon period. The moonbow typically appears for about five nights each month, starting from two to three nights before the full moon through two or three nights afterward – but only when the weather is clear. “Bright moonlit nights with clear skies are what you need to see the moonbow,” explained Bret Smitley, who has been a naturalist with Cumberland Falls State Park Resort for 23 years.
– Waterfalls are among the most reliable places to catch a rainbow, but only two on the planet offer up a regular display of its close cousin, the moonbow: Cumberland Falls in Kentucky and Victoria Falls on the Zambia-Zimbabwe border. Also called a white rainbow, a moonbow appears when moonlight (which is sunlight reflected off the moon) in the days just before, during, and after a full moon hits the mist generated by the falls. Because we can't see colors well in low light, a moonbow appears white, reports BBC Travel, though photographers can use long exposures to capture its actual colors. Moonbows are occasionally—but not regularly—seen elsewhere in the world, including at Yosemite Falls in California. What makes Cumblerland Falls and Victoria Falls so unique is that they boast just the right amount of splash along a wide enough (rather than deep and narrow) gorge so that moonlight can reach down and across the mist. CNN notes that because sunlight is much stronger than moonlight, moonbows are rainbow's fainter cousin. They're temperamental in other ways: Cloudy nights can prevent the bow from forming, and Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border has lost its moonbow thanks to light pollution. Bustle reports on one photographer who in November caught a similar fogbow, which forms in the fog, arching over a solitary tree in Scotland; it went viral on Instagram and Twitter. (Turns out rainbows are more complicated than we thought.)
