Average. It wasn't roaring but it wasn't low. In a dry summer it may dry to a trickle by August.

Taken on Sunday:
The upper falls...
We didn't go down to the base of the main falls. I know there's a rope you can use to get down there. At least there was last time I was here many years ago.
An interesting sign we saw along the way. The town must have run out of "truck going uphill" signs.

35 mpg is awfully slow for a climb that steep.
i have in my log here that this site has 4 falls. is that right?

There's the small 15 footer that's in the picture. Then there's a giant 60-80 foot falls a bit downstream from that that spills into a deep gorge. There's a small cascade similar to the upper falls that's below the large one. We did not climb down into the gorge on Sunday to see that one. The fourth one may be the one upstream from the bridge that you posted an aerial shot of. We didn't see that because the land on that side of the road was heavily posted.

If it is, we could not find it.

I last saw it in 2003, so it may be gone now. We were there a few weeks ago but didn't bother trying to get to the base of the main falls.
