My falls for today are a small scene from a small regional park in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest called Lucia Falls Park. Not a huge set of falls and a pretty small park you wouldn't want to shoot on a hot summer weekend unless you like large picnic crowds and waterfalls smothered in people cooling off in the East Fork of the Lewis River. Not a lot of folks around on a weekday like the day I visited the park.

Elowah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge - before the wildfire that closed the trail for a long time.

I have visited these falls several times with a drone over the past few years and the scene is quite different these days. When you shot this the downstream view behind you was one of the nastiest blackberry thickets in the Gorge. That part got scorched down to bare rocks all the way to the freeway. The footbridge is long gone as it got turned into charcoal.
