“Bottom Line” (Trail Canyon Falls – January 19, 2013)
I was a little disappointed that he didn’t mention our website, and the thought did occur to me whether I should tell him. But I wanted to ensure we stayed anonymous so I didn’t say anything about…
“Soldiering into an Old Haunt” (Soldier Creek Falls – January 5, 2013)
We did spot a couple of guys going the other way. However, their pants looked muddy and wet, and it made us wonder if we were in for something harder than we had thought going into this excursion…
Tahiti with Tahia Itinerary – December 13, 2012 to December 23, 2012
In this itinerary, we covered the familiar Society Islands of Tahiti (also more formally known as French Polynesia). Thus, we spent time on Tahiti Island, Moorea Island, and Bora Bora Island…
Caribbean Highlights
Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights in the Caribbean Islands (both involving and not involving waterfalls). So we’ve come up with this page to pay homage to some of the highlights that we…
“Vaioro Falls”
“Vaioro Falls” is the other of two notable waterfalls decorating the mountains backing the town of Afareaitu on the southeast coast of Moorea Island. Like the “Putoa Falls”, I put quotes around the…
Other Moorea Waterfalls
The Other Moorea Waterfalls besides the two main ones behind the town of Afareaitu are what I’m devoting this particular page for. For all intents and purposes, I’ve spotted the majority of these…
Tahiti Iti Waterfalls
The Tahiti Iti Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the numerous waterfalls we managed to encounter while visiting the smaller “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known…
Haamaremare Iti and Haamaremare Rahi Waterfalls
The Haamaremare Iti and Haamaremare Rahi Waterfalls comprise the other two of the three Faarumai Waterfalls. These were essentially dual waterfalls almost falling side by side each other though…
Vaiharuru Falls
Vaiharuru Falls was one of those look-but-don’t-touch waterfalls as it plunged dramatically at a distance from the main road. I’d have to say this is probably more for waterfall collectors…
Vaipahi Falls
Vaipahi Falls was more of those classic intimate small jungle waterfalls where it’s easy to relax, swim, and play here (though the mozzies can easily break that piece of mind). Tall hanging vines…
“Three Tickets to Paradise” (Tahiti – December 14, 2012 to December 23, 2012)
After the second failed attempt at 2:30pm (in which there was some severe rocking in the plane resulting from the scary turbulence though Tahia seemed to enjoy the ride as indicated by her laughter…
Cascade de Fachoda
Cascade de Fachoda (or the Fautaua Waterfall since it’s in Fautaua Valley) has to be one of the more spectacular waterfalls I’ve been fortunate enough to sample in Tahiti. The reason why I say……
Tahiti Nui Waterfalls
The Tahiti Nui Waterfalls page was my attempt at trying to capture and exhibit the other unnamed waterfalls we noticed on the larger “dumbbell” of Tahiti Island (the part known as Tahiti Nui or Big…
Southern Appalachians Road Trip Itinerary – October 13, 2012 to October 28, 2012
Our trip to the Southeastern United States in the Southern Appalachian Mountain Range was kind of an odd trip for Julie and I because it was a region that we had never really seriously considered visiting.
But one thing we learned over the years was that you haven’t really…
Foster Falls
Foster Falls was the last waterfall we saw on our Appalachians 2012 trip, and it was a fine way to cap it off! Even though the Foster Falls Wild Area is better known to climbers looking for a…
Ruby Falls
Ruby Falls was perhaps the most anticipated waterfall of our 2012 Appalachians trip. As with most things in life, when you anticipate something, it generally means you’re imposing some lofty…
High Falls (Rock City)
High Falls (which also goes by the name Lover’s Leap) is an artificial waterfall and is arguably the signature attraction of the Rock City Lookout and Gardens on the Georgia side of Lookout Mount…
Bald River Falls
Bald River Falls was certainly one of the easiest waterfalls we’ve visited in the Southern Appalachians.That was because it was visible right off a road bridge adjacent to a parking area…
Falls Creek Falls
Falls Creek Falls is said to be the highest free-leaping waterfall east of the Mississippi River at about 256ft (according to the signs here). If there happens to be enough water, then a second…
Cane Creek Falls, Rockhouse Creek Falls, Cane Creek Cascade
Cane Creek Falls is said to be an 85ft waterfall on Cane Creek, which is responsible for the deep Cane Creek Gorge of which is one of the main features of Falls Creek Falls State Resort Park…
