Newton Canyon Falls was one of those waterfalls that somehow eluded us many years ago on our first attempt. But after finding it recently, we wondered how on earth we managed to miss it…

Holy Jim Falls has such a memorable name that every time I think about it, I have this impulse to shout out “Holy Jim!” before the word “Falls.” Apparently the name was in honor…

I visited these falls April 2005 and loved them. It’s almost as good as Yosemite Falls but you have to be in the right place to view them Cascade Falls. I saw the same view as Johnny Cheng. Park at the Inspiration Point (near the tunnel) and carefully walk down the rockface northward to near […]

The nicest waterfall I know in NYS is Kaaterskill falls in Ulster County in the Catskills. It’s a two tiered waterfall with the upper falls 175 feet and the lower falls 85 feet. It’s at the end of a short (maybe 1/4 mile) trail just off state highway 23A. It’s very pretty, not too heavily […]

Growing up in Valley of Enchantment, one of the legends you must know about is actually how the heart came to be. It has been said that an Indian princess was told by her father that she could not be with the man she loved because he was not of her tribe. Her tears melted […]

I’ve seen it in November twice, and it definitely flows during the winter rainy season. Apparently there’s a sinkhole (old lava tube) upstream that diverts the entire dry season flow of Curly Creek before it reaches the falls. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

I was stationed at Schofield Barracks from 1980-1983. I was introduced to Sacred Falls by some locals at my church. My fondest memory was climbing the hillsides on the trail to Sacred Falls. The Mountain Apples ripe. I’ve never seen anything like them before or since. They tasted like an apple but have the consistency […]

Haloku are often called the World’s tallest sea cliffs. They rise 3,250 feet, a full kilometer. I ran 78 commercial trips down Koolau Moloka’i in the 1980’s but since it was summer (the only time safe to kayak) we never saw Haloku pumping. On my Hurricane John honeymoon trip in August 1995 we did see […]

Kahiwa Falls, Hawai’i’s tallest consistent waterfall during the Hurricane John trip. Amporn is wearing a shirt for wind protection. Excuse the quality – this shot is from a 1995 slide. 2 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment Please login or sign up to comment

I am extremely familiar with Papalaua Falls. I used to run kayak trips down Koolau, Moloka’i and will again someday. I also made two documentaries including the falls. “Moloka’i’s Forgotten Frontier” won a 1985 Emmy Award and the US Outdoor Writers Council “Teddy” for Best Environmental Education production of the year. “Moloka’i’i, Child of the […]

So I was looking around and found your site (really like it). Recently I went on a trip to Yellowstone with a friend and our main goal was to check out waterfalls. We saw many pull-over falls, Union Falls and Terraced Falls. The hike to Terraced Falls was pretty intense. We got about 1/2 way […]

Curly Creek Falls is supposed to be the famed waterfall that had the rare distinction of having natural bridges spanning its falling watercourse. Unfortunately when we were there in…

Big Creek Falls is roughly 10 minutes further east from the Curly Creek Falls turnoff along Route 90 (Lewis River Road) in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest…

Falls Creek Falls is one of a handful of impressive waterfalls along the Wind River Road north of Carson and the Columbia River Gorge in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest of…

Watson Falls was a very tall 272ft columnar free-falling waterfall that kind of provided us with a contrasting waterfalling experience with the neighboring Toketee Falls gracefully falling…

Lower Oneonta Falls is one of those waterfalls where you have to go on a bit of an adventure to see. Now why go through all the trouble if the Columbia River Gorge is chock full of waterfalls?

Vidae Falls was definitely one of the easiest waterfalls to visit in Crater Lake National Park, mostly because it was right by the road. It was one of the few waterfalls in all our waterfalling…

Salt Creek Falls was definitely one of the more impressive waterfalls we’ve seen in Oregon. We could tell that it was very popular because it was so easily accessible in addition to its impressive…

Koosah Falls is a block waterfall just downstream from Sahalie Falls and upstream from Tamolitch Falls. All of these falls are on the McKenzie River in the Willamette National…
