Another stop on the trip out west in the spring of 2013 was at the impressive Palouse Falls in southeastern Washington. The falls drop almost 200 feet into a large plunge pool from where the Palouse River continues its journey through a deep canyon to meet up with the Snake River. The falls are in […]
Beauty Beneath the Bridge-Christine Falls in Mount Rainier National Park
Another waterfall image from my trip to Mount Rainier National Park last summer. This is Christine Falls which is a major park attraction, probably due to the fact that it sits right of the road and has a large parking lot. I drove by it many times, but there were always a lot of people […]
Sudden Descent-Comet Falls in Mount Rainier National Park
Comet Falls is one of the most impressive falls in Mount Rainier National Park, so it was definitely on my list of places to get to on my trip to the park. The most intimidating part of getting to it was the hike to get there. The 1.7-mile distance was nothing, it was the 1,400-foot […]

As promised, I am going to start posting some new pictures! This is Deer Creek Falls in Mount Rainier National Park. It was the second falls that my son Justin and I stopped at early one morning this past August. It was an easy hike along the Owyhigh Lakes Trail from the trailhead along Highway […]

I just returned home from a trip out to Mount Rainier National Park outside of Seattle. My son Justin joined me for the first part of the trip and we had fun exploring the park for our first time. We were greeted by clear blue skies and unheard of temperatures close to 90 degrees in […]
Beauty Among Chaos-Panther Falls in Washington
I spent a lot of time planning for my trip out to the Pacific Northwest this spring. I mapped out over a hundred waterfalls and created a schedule that would hopefully allow me to shoot most of them. Of course I set aside quite a few days to shoot the waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge. […]
