great series of shots. The leaves really had that place blanketed.

As always...a great hike in Tannery Creek. Love this place.
Either nature or man removed the trees that once adorned the main falls. With the water flow and without the log, I didnt dare cross the middle of the falls.

Nice to see the logs gone! I think they were even there going back to the 200 waterfalls book picture. I really like that second shot - looks like a great perspective to return to in the fall

i visited this past weekend for the first time since college. An excellent hike with decent climbs. I was able to get the info and imagery that I need to build a page, but I did not climb the last falls, thinking I don't want to encourage that climb to readers. It seemed insane.

It used to be very managable when the log was wedged in the pool in the middle. Now, I wouldnt dare try it unless waterflow was really low...in which case I probably wouldnt bother going further.

Finally made it here a few days ago, when it was pretty hot, so the creek definitely felt good. Saw one other person while I was there. As you will see, things definitely look drier in comparison to the photos posted from June I would like to go back there, but will wait until after we get some desperately needed rain (and at this rate, who knows when that will be)...
I stopped at the third falls. I was tempted to go up to the fourth, but the hill to the left of the falls looked pretty sketchy up top (I saw the other person go up that way), and I wasn't about to try the rope to the right since who knows how long it's been there. Where are like 3 footholds when you need 'em? I know other people wouldn't give it a second thought but I prefer my limbs intact so...
I am also glad I am a short thin person, getting around those busted up trees at the falls below the 3rd was a bit tricky..and shame all those logs are there, it would be a pretty nice falls to get if they weren't there.

Nice! I hadn't noticed that new log in Kyles last shots. I'm guessing its one of those that spent the past several years stuck at the larger falls upstream. Chances are it will spend the next 5 years hanging out at this one, "messing up" the perfect shot, although that will of course depend on how you see it. It works quite well in your shots

Wonderful shots Judy!
The left side is definitely the way to go. There is a well worn path on that side. The rope has been there 10 years or more, is rotted, and there are NO good foot holds leading up to it. It's sketchy to say the least.
I agree about the log jam. I had a difficult time navigating over/under that.
