Lower Lewis

This is one that has been on my list for years and it didn't disappoint. Coming in at 200 feet wide it's the widest falls that I've seen yet and the first vertical block. From here it's hard to tell that it drops 43 feet, but the roar lets you know it. :-) The emerald water is caused by the Lewis river being born of an inactive glacier (from Mount Adams) so it doesn't have the silt like White or Puyallup and it is just stunning to see. I was here on a Friday and I kid you not, I didn't see a soul until I got back down here after hiking up to the other two drops. It was a bit spooky. :-)
