Another shot from the end of August of the bottom of the falls. I mostly took it from this vantage point because I didn't feel like rock scrambling any further. I have tentative plans with a friend to climb the falls this October if the weather & our ambition cooperate. Hopefully, we'll get some decent shots of the little-seen middle sections and not kill ourselves in the process.

LGD, your information was great for our trip. Thank you.

We did not have near as much water as you did, even though it was raining when we were there. Also, after a 7 hr drive we were not too anxious to climb to the second part so we skipped.

Nice shots. We drove by over the weekend and after looking from the road (it's nice to be able to preview the falls without getting out of the car) we saw there was hardly any water going over, and it had rained quite a bit the night before, so that's no measure I guess.

Thanks. Even though the flow was low, it was still fun. I was surprised at how warm the water was too.

After two days of strong rain, we had more water than the last visit.

Nice shots with the fall color. We drove by early this month and there was hardly any water so we skipped it this year.

Thanks LGD. I was there the week following you and from Monday to Friday the trees really changed, along with the weather. Much rain and about 35 degrees drop. When we drove by on our way to Lake Placid there wasn't anything to see. The neat thing is the sound this fall makes when it is "roaring".
