I was told recently by Bryan Swan of World Waterfall Database that this waterfall (that you dubbed “El Capitan Falls“) is known as “Columbia Cascade”. He also said that Horsetail Falls is sometimes known as “El Capitan Falls”. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please […]

This used to be the UPD Falls when we visited 30 years ago. We were the only ones there all day and overnight. It is truly beautiful and we swam for hours. I don’t recall if there was any mention of crocs but it was fresh water so they would only have been the Johnston […]

We had taken a walk through the forest when we came to the falls….there on the platform overlooking the falls I turned around to face my partner to say how beautiful it was. To my surprise Kieran asked me to marry him, was one of the best days of my life xx 0 CommentsOnly logged […]

My husband and I visited Angel Falls years ago and I will never forget that trip. We flew in commercial on a 737. It was in early summer and CLEAR and the falls were full, which is rare, so he flew us by the falls at 1200 ft and at slow speed, then turned around […]

Neither of us have ever been to the falls and are planning to elope there. Is there an area of the falls that you could recommend to do this? I would love the night lights but not sure if I could get a place to conduct one at night. 1 CommentOnly logged in users can […]

I was going to Banff. On the way i saw a big waterfall! I think it was as tall as the mountain the waterfall was on. It was far away but i could see the water falling. I had seen the waterfall before. What i noticed that it was the tallest mountain waterfall I have […]

My Wife, my 2 children (aged 12 and 14 at the time) and I visited Voringsfossen on our Norwegian holiday in 2004. We were driving from Oslo to Bergen, and, I can tell you, it was one of the most spectacular sights I have ever seen. It was certainly the most beautiful waterfall I have […]

First we stopped in Puerto Ordaz where Orinoco and Caroni meet. And followed to Canaima not seeing Angel Falls. They told us that because of the weather we’ll be […]

Although you have picked some of the best of the popular waterfalls, there are many more beautiful that are not as well known. My overall favorite is Chittenango Falls in NY. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or sign up to comment

You often see little jets of water separate from the main body of a waterfall and fall on their own distinct trajectory. I remember seeing a name for them but I’ve forgotten it. 2 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or sign up to […]

I think the writer should visit Zimbabwe now and come up with a recent true picture of what is currently on the ground. The economy is recovering, the US dollar is the currency in use now and the political situation has calmed down. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright […]

I have been to these falls, and witnessed some kayakers going over the falls, which I thought was fool-hardy, but they seemed to do it just fine. It is a beautiful spot. However, just last weekend in the news a man died there after climbing over the safety barriers and then slipped into the water. […]

On this beautiful Hawaiian Spring Day some friends and I hiked the short trail to the base of the waterfall where we began swimming. The water was cold and refreshing but after about a half an hour we all decided that even though the view was spectacular and the pool was amazing it was time […]
