Maryland
Virginia
Virginia Waterfalls were a bit of an unexpected surprise considering it was a state that I knew harbored the Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains though we hadn’t visited that region yet…
New Jersey
New Jersey Waterfalls certainly seem like a contradiction to those not familiar with the state (like us). But believe it or not, after one website visitor made us aware that there was at least one waterfall here…
Michigan
Michigan Waterfalls were probably the unsung attractions of the Wolverine State. Perhaps a big reason why was that the state seemed to exhibit two different personalities as there were two distinct regions…
Kentucky
The Kentucky Waterfalls that we visited represented a very small fraction of what exists in the state. But they provided the perfect excuse for us to explore the state and pierce through the fog of the unknown…
Wyoming
Wyoming Waterfalls dot this legendary state that’s home to both Yellowstone National Park (the world’s first; though technically it’s also got strips of Montana as well as Idaho) as well as Grand Tetons…
Washington
Washington Waterfalls were the byproduct of a region of the United States with a notoriously wet climate as well as favorable geology for waterfalls thanks to its volcanoes. In fact, the state of Washington…
Oregon
Oregon Waterfalls are probably one aspect of the state’s natural beauty that can easily be taken for granted. As you can see on this page, there are numerous waterfalls that we’ve encountered, and this doesn’t…
Montana
Montana Waterfalls seem to be mostly concentrated in the Rocky Mountains, and in our experience, that pretty much meant Glacier National Park and its vicinity. In this state, things just feel different…
Idaho
Idaho Waterfalls hint at this state’s balance between its agricultural reputation and wild nature. Perhaps more known for its potatoes or references in songs (e.g. Private Idaho by the B-52’s) as well as the university…
Alaska
Alaska Waterfalls I’m sure are abundant given its rainy climate (it’s said to rain about 300 days out of the year in much of the southeast part of the state). However, given the wild and ruggedness of this harsh…
Utah
Utah Waterfalls are just one aspect of a variety of scenery in the state’s vast and rugged expanse of desert wilderness. We’ve managed to find slot canyons, natural arches, desert oases, and even canyons with vertical…
New Mexico
New Mexico Waterfalls seemed like an oxymoron to us as we thought this state was nothing but desert, aliens (think Roswell), and nuclear research projects (think Manhattan Project) as well as military bases…
Nevada
Nevada Waterfalls are about as unlikely as they come. After all, this state is said to be the driest in the United States, which isn’t all that surprising considering that the state is dominated by the Great Basin…
Hawaii
Hawaii Waterfalls are one of many reasons why Hawaii is widely regarded as the “Pearl of the Pacific.” Given its lush tropical climate, Hawaii has rainforests supporting a wide variety of them. In fact, one spot…
Colorado
Colorado Waterfalls were mostly nestled amongst the majestic Rocky Mountains where numerous peaks topped 14,000ft. While it wasn’t surprising to find waterfalls in this state, for one reason or another…
Arizona
Arizona Waterfalls are about as contradictory as they get. Given the hot and arid climate that epitomizes the deserts of the American Southwest, it’s easy to dismiss this state as lacking waterfalls. Yet we…
