By about 2:20pm, we only made it to Jean, which was the next town on the way to State Line. And it wouldn’t be until about 3:20pm when we finally made it to Primm. By this time, lots of people…

Cascade Falls was our excuse to break up the very long drive from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. While you don’t need to make such a long drive to reach this waterfall, it was conveniently within…

I eventually scrambled up to rejoin Julie and Tahia where they were snacking on broccoli chips. As we were snacking up here, we were suddenly inundated in an insect swarm. It was quite a surreal…

This was a trip where we tested the limits of our personal car as well as the limits of how much I could drive in a span of a week-and-a-half. We’ve always wanted to go to New Mexico and Colorado, and this was our opportunity…

Mary Jane Falls had to have been hands down the most popular hike in the Mt Charleston area. I had to have counted dozens of large hiking groups when I was making my way back down from the falls…

Little Falls was almost the waterfall that got away when I attempted to visit it right after doing the Mary Jane Falls hike. The problem was that the trail to access this waterfall wasn’t terribly…

“Medium Falls” was a name I made up for this waterfall because it sat in between Little Falls and Big Falls on the northeast-facing slopes of Kyle Canyon. I could have easily called it “Lost Falls”…

Mill Creek Falls was an unexpected natural waterfall surprise that I hadn’t planned on visiting when we made a return trip to Moab 16 years after our first visit. Waterfalls weren’t even on our…

Faux Falls was another one of the waterfalling surprises during our return trip to Moab, Utah in 2017. Like the name suggests the waterfall was technically not real (“faux” is French for something…

Few waterfalls could take your breath away, but the Bridal Veil Falls at Hanging Lake pretty much did just that – both literally and figuratively. The picture you see at the top of this page only…

Rifle Falls was an impressive three-segmented waterfall where each drop plunged some 70ft over travertine formations. While we’ve seen other three-segmented waterfalls like Triple Falls in Oregon…

Cascade Falls was said to be the last in a series of seven waterfalls on Cascade Creek near the town of Ouray (though only two of these waterfalls that I know of were said to be accessible and named).

North Clear Creek Falls was a waterfall that I wound up going a bit out of the way for even though it was said to be a pretty easy-to-visit drive-to waterfall. Indeed, as you can see from the photo…

Bridal Veil Falls was said to be the tallest permanent free-falling waterfall in the state of Colorado at 365ft. Obviously when we first were made aware of the falls, it was high on our priority list.

Cornet Falls was perhaps the waterfall that stole the show when it came to waterfalling the Telluride area. As you can see from the photo above, this 80ft waterfall had a lot going for it – the red…

Nambe Falls (or more accurately Nambé Falls with the accent; meaning it’s pronounced “nam-BEH”) was certainly an unexpected waterfall surprise when we briefly toured the northwestern part of New…

Jemez Falls was perhaps the most satisfying of the waterfalls in the state of New Mexico that I had encountered during a 2017 Spring Break Trip to the Desert Southwest. That was because it was…

Travertine Falls was a bit of an exercise in missed timing as you can see from the picture above. Apparently Spring Break was a little too late to experience this seasonal waterfall, which was…

As I was speeding along the NP-101 on the way out, I was suddenly tailed by someone in a truck. I thought that it wanted to pass me or something, but I didn’t see a place to pull over and let him…

Slide Rock was one of those waterfalling excursions that probably stretched the definition of what a waterfall was in our experience. It was really a series of small cascades (the tallest one…
