I LOVE that last photo. The depth... it's like the waterfalls is approaching the viewer.

Of course, everyone likes the shot I didn't take, lol. Actually, I do have almost the exact same shot, it just doesn't have me in it, so it's obviously not as good just because of that, heh. That day was also a bit rainy, and the waterfall so full that you couldn't get close to it without getting (more) wet. The place we usually take pictures from was under water that day as I recall. Hence, we had to move a bit down stream to get some place that was relatively dry, and had a place to stand.

I had some time to stop at these falls during my hiking weekend to the Cats back at the beginning of October. I would have liked to go downstream to see the others, but other hikers advised me not to without proper climbing gear. Upon leaving at the parking lot, I met a man who provides climbing instruction and tours to groups. Their goal for the day...rappel all three falls. I wish I had been a part of the group.

Come on, Kyle, when has climbing gear stopped you from "repelling" downstream before?
Great shot of a wonderful falls! Looks like you had excellent conditions.
