Warm Springs Falls drops over a sheer basalt wall into a lush, mossy valley in a forest sprinkled with autumn color in the Umpqua National Forest in southern Oregon. I have been to Oregon many times to photograph the many waterfalls around the state, but up until recently, I had never been there in autumn. […]
Woodland Grace-Nellie Creek Falls in Southwestern Colorado
Nellie Creek Falls gracefully steps its way through a forest filled with the golds and greens of early autumn in the Gunnison National Forest outside of Lake City, Colorado. I spent the last couple of days driving around the state checking out fall color conditions. A little out of the way, but high on my […]
Gentle Steps-Autumn at Deckertown Falls in New York
Catlin Mills Creek gently flows over Deckertown Falls and winds its way down to a calm pool ringed with fallen autumn leaves in the village of Montour Falls, New York. This waterfall is one of two that I visited last October right outside of the village of Montour Falls, New York. You literally drive down […]
Change of Direction-Shavano Falls in Southern Colorado
This past summer, I made it a point to visit some waterfalls in Colorado that I hadn’t been to before. A couple of those were not too far away from home outside of Salida. I packed up the camper and spent an afternoon and the following morning visiting two waterfalls on the North Fork South […]
Golden Grace-B.B. Ricketts Falls in Autumn
The waterfalls in Ricketts Glen State Park were all named by R.B. Ricketts, who once owned all the park land. Many of the falls have Native American names, but a few like this one are named after friends or family. B.B. Ricketts Falls drops gracefully over a 36 foot drop along the Glen Leigh trail. […]
Autumn Dance-Kitchen Creek in Ricketts Glen State Park
Ricketts Glen State Park is a waterfall lover’s paradise. There are over 22 named waterfalls ranging in heights from 10 to 94 feet in the park. All but four of them can be seen on a three-mile loop trail that follows two branches of Kitchen Creek. I allowed a day and a half to cover […]
Autumnal Grace-Taughannock Falls in Central New York
Taughannock Falls is the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. With a drop of 215 feet, it is 33 feet taller than Niagra Falls! That isn’t very obvious in this picture though, however imagine that someone was standing at the wall of the viewing area in the bottom right. That wall is probably […]
A Step at a Time-Eagle Cliff Falls in New York
There are many waterfalls to be found in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The geology of the area with an abundance of shale creates some impressive cliffs and canyons for the water to flow though. This fall was the first time I had visited the area. Many of the waterfalls were right in […]
Gorge Tranquility-Rainbow Falls in Watkins Glen, New York
I just returned from a month-long trip out east after fall color season ended here in Colorado. I was interested in visiting some new areas and was hopeful that I might time it right to have some good color as well. Four days of the trip were spent around the Finger Lakes region of New […]
Rambling Descent-French Creek Falls in Central Colorado
My map with all the waterfalls in Colorado showed there was one just south of the town of Minturn called French Creek Falls. After scouring the internet for any information on how to get to the falls, I finally found mention of it on a forum for four wheelers. There were a few cell phone […]
