The Dana Point Waterfall was something we weren’t really made aware of until recently when it popped up on one of the Orange County blogs. Perhaps part of the reason why this place was so unknown…

For just two hours in the park, I didn’t want to spend this kind of money. But Julie was insistent on us going in to park. Our verbal disagreement made the parking attendant uncomfortable and then…

Speaking of unpleasant, the water definitely had an unpleasant smell so we knew very well that this water was polluted. But that didn’t stop Tahia from running towards the foaming plunge pool where…

The Aliso Viejo Waterfall was something that I would have never guessed would exist as it sat amidst a bustling and continually sprawling suburban area. Indeed, in well-developed cities like this…

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights in the Asian countries (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…

In addition to our write-up on how to get to Iguazu Falls concerning some of the logistics, we’ll also talk a little more about some other considerations to make when it comes to a visit…

In addition to the catwalks and trails that allowed us to experience Iguazu Falls in a more intimate way, we did manage to do one of the paid excursions to experience a more wilder side of this place…

Near the base of the Eaton Canyon Falls were some roses as well as another ledge where there was another bouquet of dried up flowers. I’m betting that these were to commemorate lost loved ones…

While there are thousands (maybe millions) of backcountry equipment lists out there, I’ve found them to be pretty generic and not particularly helpful or induce a kind of paralysis by analysis as you wind up frozen with too many choices and things to think about…

This was a trip where Mom and I split off so Dad could hang out with friends from his college days. Although I had waterfalling targets throughout the island based on the exploits from those who cataloged…

This itinerary was actually one-half of a two-country, 3.5-week trip encompassing both Japan and Taiwan. In this itinerary write-up, we’re only focusing on Japan since this leg of the trip could easily stand out as…
