Rhaeadr Mawddach – Exploring Rhaeadr Mawddach located in Coed-y-Brenin Forest is a joy. The area has gorges and hidden buildings scattered around the forest all waiting to be explored. This bridge crosses Afon Mawddach (River Mawddach) upstream from where the Afon Gain joins the Mawddach.
As a Washintonian and a waterfall lover/chaser, Palouse Falls is a destination. The first time I tried to shoot at Palouse Falls was in August 2016. My husband and I packed up my equipment and set out for the 4 hour drive there. As we got closer to the park roads were closed, we are in the middle of nowhere... Long story short there were wildfires and the park had been closed and evacuated. Skip forward to 2017 and our trip to Glacier National Park, nixed by wildfires, so we came up with a alternative roadtrip, which included stopping at Palouse Falls on our way home. Once again in the middle of nowhere, we realize that there is no way that we can pull our trailer down the entrance road to the park. My husband, the sweetheart that he is, does not want me to miss the falls again, so we disconnect the trailer and leave it in a pullout on the side of the road. Finally, I've made it to Palouse Falls. The sky was hazy and boring, the light was harsh, but I was there. Someday I'll get a portfolio worthy shot of Palouse Falls, but this'll do for now.
Went on an after-work hike and made it to the upper falls only 1.5 hours from the front door. A waterfall lover's paradise, we saw only 10 people on the trail the entire 3 miles.

With all of the waterfalls in this natural wonder it's easy to focus on those too much and forget about all of the rock around. In this photo, I wanted to focus more on the rock and on the 400-foot deep cut the Glen Creek made through it over the years and have the water pushed into background to complete the scene.
Watkins Glen is wonderful natural creation. A deep narrow glen with a rushing stream and so many cascades a waterfall lover will be in paradise! The glen's origins go back to the ice age when … The Glen.
Cullman, Alabama is also home to one of the largest waterfalls in the state. Larkwood Falls is located in the Larkwood subdivision, a neighborhood built near Lake Catoma in Cullman. The waterfall is the natural spill-over from the lake and is active year round. The falls are well-hidden, but well-worth finding for the waterfall lover. The falls are over 75 feet tall and 100 feet wide. (www.theadventuretravel.net/waterfalls-in-cullman-alabama....)

Central Oregon is a geographic region in the U.S. state of Oregon and is traditionally considered to be made up of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties. Other definitions include larger areas, often encompassing areas to the north towards the Columbia River, eastward towards Burns, or south towards Klamath Falls. These three counties have a combined population of 153,558 as of the 2000 census, with Deschutes the largest of the three counties, having approximately four times the population of the other two counties combined. As of 2008, the most populous city in the region is Bend, with an estimated 80,995 residents.[1] As defined by the three county definition, Central Oregon covers 7,833 square miles (20,290 km2) of land.
The region is located in the middle of the state with the Cascade Range to the west dividing the state from north to south, and the smaller Ochoco Mountains to the east. Portions of the region are part of a basalt plateau formed by the Columbia River Basalt Group, others are part of the slopes of the Cascades, and others part of the Basin and Range. The climate of the area is primarily arid due to the rain shadow effect of the Cascades on the western boundary of the region. Outdoor recreational activities, timber, and ranching are the primary economic activities.
Dillon Falls is the second of three major waterfalls along the Deschutes River near Bend. Like nearby Lava Island Falls, Dillon Falls hasn’t been widely documented or publicized because it is quite difficult to see the majority of the falls. Trails, however, provide much better views of Dillon Falls – enough so that a proper rating can be achieved. Now, the make up of the falls could be in dispute, depending on whom you ask. The falls are said to drop 65 feet over 1/3 of a mile of run, but that stretches the concept of a waterfall pretty thin. There is a substantial 15-foot drop at the top of the falls, followed by a long series of violent rapids. The book A Waterfall Lover’s Guide to the Pacific Northwest calls the whole thing 40 to 60 feet tall, and, depending on the edition, gives it as many as four (of five) stars. I say it’s a 15-foot waterfall followed by a long series of violent rapids.
Smith Rock State Park is a state park located in central Oregon's high desert near the towns of Redmond and Terrebonne. Its sheer cliffs of tuff and basalt are ideal for rock climbing of all difficulty levels. Smith Rock is generally considered the birthplace of modern American sport climbing, and is host to cutting-edge climbing routes.
In addition to the world-famous rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is host to many miles of hiking trails, the meandering Crooked River and views of the volcanic peaks of Oregon's Cascade Range. Much of the 1994 film adaptation of the 1976 book Even Cowgirls Get The Blues was filmed within view of Smith Rock. Partial filming for the 1997 feature The Postman took place on location, while it additionally appeared in Swordfish in following years. Several westerns have been filmed here, including the John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn film Rooster Cogburn. The Rockhard building at the park entrance was built as a movie set for this film, portrayed as "Kates Saloon".

While hiking Spoonauger Falls I had the great pleasure of running into Mark VanDyke, a great Flickr contact and friend. You must check out his photostream, awesome photography and waterfall lover. ( www.flickr.com/photos/markvandyke/ )
This was taken on March 11, 2010 at a time when the area around Watkins Glen was mostly clear of snow. Not so on the same creek that goes through The Glen, higher up in the hills. There was easily a foot of snow on the ground up there. This was also the only time, out of 7 or 8 trips to Twin Falls, that I ever saw another human being there, Ken, waterfall lover and proud member of the Dix Highway Dept.

The climate of the area is primarily arid due to the rain shadow effect of the Cascades on the western boundary of the region. Outdoor recreational activities, timber, and ranching are the primary economic activities.
Dillon Falls is the second of three major waterfalls along the Deschutes River near Bend. Like nearby Lava Island Falls, Dillon Falls hasn’t been widely documented or publicized because it is quite difficult to see the majority of the falls. Trails, however, provide much better views of Dillon Falls – enough so that a proper rating can be achieved. Now, the make up of the falls could be in dispute, depending on whom you ask. The falls are said to drop 65 feet over 1/3 of a mile of run, but that stretches the concept of a waterfall pretty thin. There is a substantial 15-foot drop at the top of the falls, followed by a long series of violent rapids. The book A Waterfall Lover’s Guide to the Pacific Northwest calls the whole thing 40 to 60 feet tall, and, depending on the edition, gives it as many as four (of five) stars. I say it’s a 15-foot waterfall followed by a long series of violent rapids.
Smith Rock State Park is a state park located in central Oregon's high desert near the towns of Redmond and Terrebonne. Its sheer cliffs of tuff and basalt are ideal for rock climbing of all difficulty levels. Smith Rock is generally considered the birthplace of modern American sport climbing, and is host to cutting-edge climbing routes.
In addition to the world-famous rock climbing, Smith Rock State Park is host to many miles of hiking trails, the meandering Crooked River and views of the volcanic peaks of Oregon's Cascade Range. Much of the 1994 film adaptation of the 1976 book Even Cowgirls Get The Blues was filmed within view of Smith Rock. Partial filming for the 1997 feature The Postman took place on location, while it additionally appeared in Swordfish in following years. Several westerns have been filmed here, including the John Wayne and Katharine Hepburn film Rooster Cogburn. The Rockhard building at the park entrance was built as a movie set for this film, portrayed as "Kates Saloon".

Central Oregon is a geographic region in the U.S. state of Oregon and is traditionally considered to be made up of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties. Other definitions include larger areas, often encompassing areas to the north towards the Columbia River, eastward towards Burns, or south towards Klamath Falls. These three counties have a combined population of 153,558 as of the 2000 census, with Deschutes the largest of the three counties, having approximately four times the population of the other two counties combined. As of 2008, the most populous city in the region is Bend, with an estimated 80,995 residents.[1] As defined by the three county definition, Central Oregon covers 7,833 square miles (20,290 km2) of land.
