Winter Falls

Winter Falls plunges audibly when it's flowing beneath the Rim Trail portion of the Trail of Ten Falls. It has a dedicated car park for those (like us) who want to start hiking from here to see not only this waterfall, but the handful of other waterfalls nearby. From the car park, the trail quickly descends down a pair of switchbacks in which the last one gives you a decent view of this 134ft waterfall (very hard to capture the whole falls from here without a very wide angle lens though). To my knowledge, that's the best (maybe only) decent place to photograph the falls as the rest are afflicted by foliage in the line-of-sight.

Directions: The Winter Falls car park and trailhead is about 0.9 miles south and west of the North Falls car park along Hwy 214. It's just west of the distant viewpoint of North Falls.
