Buckhorn Falls

Buckhorn Falls was a waterfall that eluded us mostly because getting to it wasn’t easy. That said, it turned out that we had plenty of opportunities over the years to make a visit since it was very..

“A Joy Luck Weekend” (Switzer Falls and Portugese Bend – April 23-24, 2016)

As I was making the steep scramble up, I had to go up some exposed tree roots before I was on a narrow rock ledge leading to a narrow section where the rock ledge was kind of aided by the way…

“Self Picked Adventure” (Paradise Falls – April 16, 2016)

When we had our fill of Paradise Falls, we then headed back up at 3:45pm. And as expected, Tahia was not in much of a mood to walk. She wanted us to carry her, but we couldn’t accommodate…

“An Inconvenient Opportunity” (Holy Jim Falls – April 10, 2016)

Sure enough when we got onto the Trabuco Creek Road, we saw there was still water puddles filling in the potholes. Plus, the road was muddy as expected so we knew that Julie’s car was going to get…

South Central USA Road Trip Loop Itinerary – March 9, 2016 to March 20, 2016

This was a Spring Break trip where we took our daughter along for a bit of a trip to the heart of Texas as well as the Bayou, and even further to the north in the Ozarks and in Sooner Country. After starting off the trip….

Turner Falls

Turner Falls was perhaps Oklahoma’s most scenic waterfall. Julie and I were made aware of the falls when my mother made a visit here during a business trip several years ago. Ever since then…

Glory Hole Falls

The Glory Hole Falls was definitely was one of the more unique waterfalling experiences that we’ve ever had. As you can see from the photo at the top of this page, it was a rare waterfall where…

Natural Falls (Dripping Springs Falls)

Natural Falls (I’ve also seen this referred to as Dripping Springs) was one of the more interesting waterfalls we stumbled upon in our research of Oklahoma Waterfalls, which prompted us to include…

Cedar Falls

In our minds, Cedar Falls was arguably the most attractive waterfall in the state of Arkansas. As you can see from the photo above, it had a classic rectangular shape with pretty healthy volume…

High Banks Twin Falls

High Banks Twin Falls provided us with one of our more tranquil waterfalling experiences during our little road trip to the South Central states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma in…

Clark Creek Waterfalls (Tunica Falls)

The Clark Creek Waterfalls (also referred to as Tunica Falls in Google Maps) were a series of several waterfalls residing within the Clark Creek Natural Area within Mississippi near its border with…

Hamilton Pool

Hamilton Pool was easily our favorite Texas waterfall. Even though the falls was modestly sized with a plunge of roughly 50ft into its namesake pool, we thought it was the stuff surrounding…

McKinney Falls

McKinney Falls was actually a series of two waterfalls – an upper and lower falls. It could also very well be the only waterfall within the city limits of Austin (Texas’ state capital)…

Pedernales Falls

Pedernales Falls seemed to us to be a series of smaller cascades and waterslides. We actually thought that as a waterfalling attraction, it seemed to stretch the definition of a waterfall…

“Dodging Bullets” (Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma – March 9, 2016 to March 20, 2016)

Boy was it a good thing that we didn’t do the trip in reverse (clockwise) as originally planned, because we would’ve really been screwed with the flooding there. Plus, we would’ve really been…

Gorman Falls

Gorman Falls was a very wide waterfall that was a bit difficult to convey in photos just how grand and graceful it was. The photo you see at the top of this page represented only a small portion…

Falls Canyon Falls (“Hidden Falls”)

Falls Canyon Falls (also known as “Hidden Falls”) was an elusive waterfall that nearly defeated us as I’m sure it probably had many others. In fact, we weren’t even aware of the existence of this…

“From PV to the OC” (Abalone Cove and Falls Canyon Falls – February 20, 2016 to February 21, 2016)

So while Julie and I were having this GEICO Commercial moment (where Tarzan and Jane were arguing over directions) and Tahia was getting antsy about this hike becoming longer than she had bargained…

“Fighting Off The Flu Bug” (Fish Canyon Falls – February 13, 2016)

As we were getting ready for the hike, the sun was bearing down on us as it looked like it was going to be yet another hot day today (yet another February day in the 80s or 90s). As my headaches…

“Knowing The Limits” (Bailey Canyon Falls – February 6, 2016)

So that right off the bat kind of hinted to us that this excursion could very well be a waste of time. Even Julie was starting to entertain the thought of just aborting this hike…
