If you haven't visited this place in awhile you really should go now. We stopped in just for a look at a few falls and we ended up hiking a pretty big loop. It's nice and cool, the water levels are great and the overcast sky is good for photos.
There are only a few places, however, that you can set your camera on to get yourself in the shot. The biggie, South Falls, allows for that.
I only have one complaint about these luscious views.
And that is the complete lack of imagination in the naming of each falls, take Lower South for instance:
Or Double Falls, certainly there could be some name with a little more "Anne" in it.
And then there was this one:
At least it has a name, I guess, unlike the following one which isn't even on the map, much less, embellished with a name.
I would even give this fallen tree a name, not exactly sure what it would be, but something desperate and beautiful.
At this point we decided to cross the bridge and just keep hiking, what's another 2 miles?
At least this falls carries the name of the young man who helped to preserve this area for public use and who roamed this canyon as a boy. His first name was June, now that is creative. But the falls goes by his last name.
And this one is named Winter. I guess that's minutely better than upper, lower, middle, north and south.
It will disappear soon, when the rains stop. Tragical June, I would call it.
