Top 10 Utah Waterfalls

Shocking both Julie and I, we never realized that the state of Utah could have enough waterfalls to even realize a respectable Top 10 List of Best Utah Waterfalls. Yet after visiting the Beehive state countless times over the years, we feel like we can finally…

Top 10 North Carolina Waterfalls

The state of North Carolina featured numerous waterfalls in its western half, which we experienced for ourselves on a single trip in the Autumn of 2012. So with all the photos and data we’ve collected, it was about time we put out a list of Top 10 Best North Carolina Waterfalls…

Top 10 Washington Waterfalls

Top 10 Oregon Waterfalls

After visiting well over 40 waterfalls on at least three separate visits in the state, we were long overdue to come out with a list of the Top 10 Best Oregon Waterfalls. And while we recognize that plenty of waterfalls reside…

“Shaking Off The Cobwebs” (Santa Ynez Falls and Placerita Creek Falls – January 19, 2019)

So given all of those factors, today’s excursion really felt like we were shaking off the cobwebs and getting back into the old MO of doing waterfall hikes opportunistically while writing about our…

Santa Ynez Falls

Santa Ynez Falls was one of those waterfalls we had put off doing after all the years we had been waterfalling locally in Southern California. We adopted this mentality because we tended…

Placerita Creek Falls

Placerita Creek Falls (also known as the Los Pinetos Waterfall since it was near the Los Pinetos Canyon) was another one of those waterfalls that we had procrastinated on visiting for one reason or…

Top 10 Yellowstone Waterfalls

Our list of the Top 10 Yellowstone Waterfalls is a way for us to acknowledge these unsung attractions in the world’s first national park. Indeed, variety reigns supreme where geysers, colorful pools, heaps of wildlife, and a Grand Canyon of its own all compete…

Top 10 Yosemite Waterfalls

After all the years we’ve visited, re-visited, camped, backpacked, and explored Yosemite National Park, it’s about time that we compile a list of the Top 10 Best Yosemite Waterfalls. Indeed, we’re quite familiar with this treasure of our home state…

Top 10 Japan Waterfalls

Putting together a Top 10 Best Japan Waterfalls List was something I had been meaning to do, especially after making a second visit here back in late 2016. So this challenging task was long overdue…

Top 10 China Waterfalls

It’s not easy to put together a Top 10 Best China Waterfalls List because it’s completely subjective and limited to each person’s experience with the mentioned waterfalls. Indeed, since we only make these lists based on our own personal experiences…

The German Language

One of the things that I learned when Julie and I turned our attention internationally to go waterfalling is that travel is all about building bridges between your own perception of the world and what actually happens in the real world…

California Highlights

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

Big Sur Quick Getaway Itinerary – November 16, 2018 to November 18, 2018

This was a quick weekend getaway trip to celebrate Julie’s birthday. Given that we needed some time off from Tahia and from all my troubles with the big website migration as well as the usual day job dramas, Julie and I did this trip alone…

Black Swift Falls (“Ragged Point Waterfall”)

The Black Swift Falls (or “Ragged Point Waterfall” as we tended to refer to it) was an intermittent waterfall on Young Creek that we had an opportunity to visit on our very first trip to Big Sur…

“Collecting Data Points” (Big Sur, California – November 16, 2018 to November 18, 2018)

There were people…rowing just outside in the harbor in plain sight from the restaurant. Then, suddenly, we heard loud booms, which rattled the windows…The waiter said that they were from cannons.

Europe Highlights

Even though this is a waterfalls website, we recognize that there are many highlights in the European 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…

Big Tour of Germanic Europe Itinerary – June 13, 2018 to July 27, 2018

This epic trip was one of our more daring trips (which was saying something considering we were traveling independently in mostly developed countries), but it was one in which we had to rely more on our planning as well as rolling with the punches…

Grawa Waterfall

The Grawa Waterfall was an impressively big waterfall, where the Sulzbach Creek tumbled over a height of 100m (though I’ve also seen 180m reported) with a width of 85m spilling into the Stubaital…
