This was the last stop for a day which included stops at five other waterfalls in the Umpqua National Forest along Highway 138 in southern Oregon. The weather went from a steady rain to partly cloudy throughout the day, but I was fortunate enough to shoot all of the falls in some sort of shade. […]

It’s time to get back to the waterfalls today. I look back now at my images from this day and can’t believe I was able to shoot six waterfalls in one day. And in good light at that! Of course it helps that a couple of them were right off the highway and were less

I had scoped out quite a few falls to visit this spring in the Umpqua National Forest in southern Oregon. Of those, Watson Falls was the tallest, dropping just a tad less than 300 feet off an impressive circular wall of basalt. This was the fifth waterfall that I visited this day and my luck […]

Visiting Grotto Falls was somewhat like going to the zoo. There was a sign on the Little River Road that pointed you in the right direction. The short trail from the parking area was well maintained and only had a few switchbacks. Then to top it off, there was a viewing area lined with a […]

The road to Hemlock Falls and Yakso Falls winds along beside the Little River outside of Glide, Oregon for 26 miles before reaching the trailheads at the Lake-in-the-Woods campground. What starts out as a nice paved road turns into one used mainly for logging trucks. I hadn’t planned on it taking quite so long to […]

The weather had been on my side for weeks with almost “perfect” waterfall shooting conditions of cloudy skies and rain showers. I spent quite a bit of time this morning shooting Lemolo Falls in a steady rain and it wasn’t until after noon that I made it to Warm Springs Falls nearby. The sun began […]

I will have to admit that there wasn’t a strenuous hike or precarious setup involved in shooting this little gem of a waterfall. In fact I practically had to clone out my Jeep in the background! Whitehorse Falls is one of a couple of falls that are right off

It was a pleasant morning when I hiked into Yakso Falls in the Umpqua National Forest outside of Glide, Oregon. The skies were overcast but there was no need for an umbrella for a change. The trail gently wound through a forest filled with pines, maples, and wild rhododendrons that were just beginning to bloom. […]

Water, water, everywhere. That best describes my visit to Lemolo Falls on the east side of the Cascade Mountain Range in Oregon this May. A steady rain was falling as I set out on the hike down to the falls. My umbrella kept me from getting thoroughly soaked as I plodded downhill through a series […]

Sahalie Falls is an impressive waterfall that drops more than a hundred feet over a lava wall into a lush green gorge. The water thunders into the valley sending off a blast of mist for hundreds of feet. The McKenzie River seems hell-bent on its surge
