The skies were clear when I packed up and left Bend, Oregon this morning and headed south. It made me wonder if my chances of shooting any waterfalls that day were going to be slim to none. I was working my way down to the Willamette Pass area and had scoped out a couple of […]

A few miles west of Willamette Pass on Highway 58 is the parking area for Salt Creek Falls. A short walk leads to a guarded viewing area along the edge of the sheer basalt wall that the falls plunge over. The view is quite remarkable. I had seen pictures of this area and was always […]

It was a bit of a trek to get to Diamond Falls, especially in a steady rain. With temps in the thirties, it made for a chilly hike as well! Not that I didn’t try to get out of having to hike a little over a mile each way mind you. The directions I followed […]

The journey to get to Rough Rider Falls turned out to be a bit of an adventure. I had read from a couple of different sources that the quickest way to get there was to bushwhack through the woods rather than hike for a little more than five miles along the Rogue River Trail. Made […]

The morning started with clearing a good six inches of heavy wet snow off the windshield of the Jeep in the parking lot of Crater Lake Lodge. The night spent there was relatively unproductive for photography to say the least. The ranger at the park entrance told us that we wouldn’t be able to see […]

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 […]
