Very nice story and photos of the Independence Trail and Rush Creek Falls. Unfortunately, Flume 28 was completely destroyed in the Jones Fire in August of 2018. I was very disappointed to find that out, as I have lived in the area for over 50 years and enjoyed many hikes on the Independence Trail. I […]

Numa Falls, located in Kootenay National Park, is a small waterfall with little height; luckily the Kootenay River is a powerful watercourse with a beautiful aquamarine colour so it has scenic appeal. The gorge it has carved is also pretty intriguing. The walk to the falls is negligible; this is practically a roadside waterfall. You […]

The Canadian Rocky Mountains are known for their slot canyons, and we had visited Johnston Canyon and Maligne Canyon on past trips to the Rockies. However, on our 2022 trip, we were really impressed by what Marble Canyon of Kootenay National Park had to offer. The trail is far less busy, and features a lot […]

This waterfall is one of the more peculiar falls to be found in British Columbia. Englishman River Falls plunges in segments into a very narrow gorge. It is pretty difficult to gauge the height of the falls due to the positioning of the waterfall, but it’s definitely fairly tall. This falls is found in Englishman […]

I first noticed Elk Falls in a tourist brochure for the city of Campbell River. Ever since, my family and I have made it a point to stop by the falls every time we visit the area. Elk Falls is a spectacular river waterfall that plunges 25 metres into a steep gorge. It can be […]

Bijoux Falls is a roadside waterfall along Highway 97, accessible through what has to be one of BC’s tiniest provincial parks. The park doubles as a rest stop and picnic site. The word “bijou” means jewel in French. The waterfall appears to be two-tiered, or at least that’s what’s visible of it. Wikipedia makes the […]

Osprey Falls has to be one of the more bizarre waterfalls in British Columbia. At only 15 feet, it’s certainly one of the shortest waterfalls in Wells Gray Park. But it also happens to be over 1000 feet wide, on the Clearwater River. I only had the chance to view the falls from the campground. […]

Nairn Falls is the final roadside waterfall on the Sea to Sky Highway from North Vancouver to Pemberton, and it has a character unlike any other waterfall along the journey. The fall is about 36 metres tall. This waterfall primarily falls in two tiers, with some smaller cascades. Because the end viewpoint gives you in-your-face […]

Canim Falls is quite an impressive waterfall. Here, a branch from the Canim River (which originates from Canim Lake) plunges around 23 metres. Under decent conditions, there will usually be two separate falls at different angles, which adds to the scenic factor. When there’s heavy rain, Canim Falls can become one of the most stunning […]

I really enjoyed reading your story about your trip to Russian Gulch waterfall. I grew up in Mendocino and believe it or not I didn’t even know this waterfall existed until I was about 42 and had gone back to Mendocino as a visitor and overheard someone talking about this waterfall. WOW!! I also took […]

Hard Hill Falls is a 12 foot high waterfall on Mill Creek in the Ozark National Forest, Arkansas. It has a beautiful pool water at the base which typically is 30 feet by 60 feet. It has a con-coved bluff shelter under the drop that surrounds three sides of the pool. 20 feet above the […]

Maybe a bit off topic, but during one of my visits to Iceland October 2022 I took a detour from the ring road to explore the Vatnsdalur valley where I a.o. passed mentioned waterfall. An interesting story behind the Kornsa estate, is that a major part of the book “Burial rites” by Australian author Hannah […]

Both left and right forks have very active waterfalls after heavy rains, but require getting feet wet 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or sign up to comment

The hike to this waterfall is a long and strenuous one starting from a trailhead north of Pagosa Springs. It can be hiked in a half day. Viewable at a point along the trail to the base of the waterfall are two waterfalls, Fourmile Falls, and Fall Creek Falls. The trail also can be taken […]

Back in the 70’s, when I first considered going to these falls, I heard there was a helicopter you could take to save most of the elevation gain/loss. Not sure if that option is still available. 1 CommentOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or […]

This set of falls is rarely visited. Most people just pass on by because they don’t even know they are there. They are spectacular. You access it from the West Fork Trailhead. From the Forest Service Office, Drive north on US Hwy 212 towards Red Lodge for 0.3 miles. Turn west (left) onto the West […]

These are the coordinates that of where I was when I shot this. It is on the road that goes to the Trailhead for Glacier Lake in the Beartooth Mountains in Montana. From Red Lodge take Hwy 212 south to Parkside/Greenough Lake Campgrounds, then take road 421 toward the trailhead. It is quite a drive […]

I just want to warn people not to try to climb these falls I watched a good friend fall to his death on 12/26/1976. He will always be missed he was only 24 years old. 1 CommentOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or sign […]
