Waterfall Wednesday 4/26/2023

My falls today is another scene from the Columbia River Gorge in the area near Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls. This is Mist Falls which apparently does flow year round although I showed a different view of these a few weeks ago and mislabeled them as Dalton Falls does not. There aren't a lot of views of Mist falls from the roadways and trails although you do get a glimpse of them from the I-84. The small falls in the upper left are the same ones I showed a telephoto panorama of last week. We are finally getting several days of dry weather this week so those falls will be dry by this weekend along with quite a few other ephemeral falls.



Pile on with your own waterfall imagery.

Very nice to be able to drone shot these hard to see falls

My offering from the archive this week

this is American Fork river probably about where Jameel lost his drone

I like the flow you have captured here Ben - looks nice with this shutter speed.

This has been one of my favorite features of shooting with a drone. I have shot several thousand images up the Gorge from the ground but have never even seen some of the falls I am shooting now from the air.

Beautiful stretch of this river - I like the falls in the background with the small fork on the left just above the confluence.

Punch bowl falls back before the fire and even before a big log fell across obstructing the view.

Classic view. I have no idea what this scene looks like after the Eagle Creek fire. I do know that this area got burned down to bare rock but there should be plants and moss moving back in by now. The trail has been a mob scene ever since it reopened.

It was a little bit upstream from here.

Phantom Falls -

Since this is only rain fed, it dries up quickly.
We had originally planned two weeks prior when it was full.....But plans had to be changed
To get to the base of the falls, had to climb down a sketchy-steep rock trail, about 100 yards- with a knotted rope the last 20ft.
My Dr BIL, said "we can do it". But were sworn to secrecy not to tell the wives

Sweet - always fun to catch a shot of the falls that aren't always there

I found this one the other day. This is Wet Beaver Creek near Sedona.

Beautiful little falls - I like the way the rocks separate the flow. The rocks almost look like stepping stones. You still have fall leaves this well preserved? Ours turn into a slimy pulp by spring.

I took this during fall a few years ago.

These are from Rifle Falls state Park a few miles north of Rifle Colorado. The first image shows the 3 falls that are the feature of the Park and the second image ia close up
of the base of the center fans.

Sweet - a set of falls I have never seen before. Do all three falls flow year round or are they dependent on snowmelt?

I have only been there in spring and fall, but the part is open year round. Their web site shows pix with snow and ice and the water still flowing!
