Pont d’Espagne (Bridge of Spain)
Pont d’Espagne (or Bridge of Spain) I think really refers to the general scenic area encompassing Lac de Gaube (Gaube Lake), the waterfalls here, and the minor developments at road’s end…
Gimel Les Cascades
Gimel Les Cascades (literally Gimel The Waterfalls) is the name of both the collective set of waterfalls as well as the charming town above them. The waterfalls may also be…
Cascade de Salins
Cascade de Salins was a memorable waterfall to us because of its position in front of some historical-looking arched bridges. In reality though, those bridges appear to be…
Grande Cascade du Mt Dore
La Grande Cascade du Mont Dore (the Big Waterfall of the Mt Dore) is a pleasant waterfall excusion that takes in not only the waterfall but wonderful birds eye views…
Cascade du Ray-Pic
The Cascade du Ray-Pic is one of the more intriguing waterfalls we’ve seen. What makes the roughly 60m falls interesting is that it is accompanied by prominent yet contorted basalt columns…
Waterfall at Etretat
The waterfall at Etretat was my excuse to include the impressive sea arches that the town is known for. The waterfall itself is probably a mere…
Mayfield Falls
Mayfield Falls was one of those waterfalls where we really had to manage our expectations. I think part of the confusion resulted from Google image searches where pictures of YS Falls were…
YS Falls
YS Falls has to be one of the prettiest waterfalls in Jamaica. In fact, we’d argue it’s pretty close to Dunn’s River Falls in terms of scenic allure…
Somerset Falls
Somerset Falls is a pretty waterfall, but we’d argue that it’s probably more of a side attraction compared to the neighboring Hidden Falls and the cave-like grotto it spills into…
Reach Falls
Reach Falls (I’ve also seen it spelled Riech Falls) was a waterfall that was more about the experience than the scenic allure – though its main waterfall was pretty. That said…
Dunn’s River Falls
Dunns River Falls has to be hands down the most popular waterfall in Jamaica. We wonder if it’s also the most popular tourist attraction period. A reason why we think this is the case…
Tacky Falls
Tacky Falls, of all the waterfalls in Jamaica, was the only one that was truly non-commercialized and back-to-nature. In other words, there were no tourist crush, no facilities, no souvenir…
Mahoe Falls
Mahoe Falls was the first waterfall that Julie and I saw in Jamaica. Its name (pronounced “ma-HO”) is derived from mahogany, which we did see a few during our visit here…
Nugget Falls
Nugget Falls (also known as Nugget Creek Falls or Mendenhall Glacier Waterfall [or “the waterfall by Mendenhall” as I’d like to refer to it]) was by far the waterfall highlight…
Glacier Bay Waterfalls
The Glacier Bay Waterfalls page is basically my excuse to showcase the beauty of Glacier Bay National Park (especially on a sunny day) along with many of its unnamed cascades spilling into bay…
Comet Falls
Comet Falls could be arguably Mt Rainier National Park’s most beautiful waterfall (though I could easily see how Spray Falls or Narada Falls could challenge that assertion). It’s said to plunge at…
Van Trump Falls
Van Trump Falls is a waterfall that I’m giving special attention to because it can easily be confused with Comet Falls without any prior research. The waterfall you see pictured…
Christine Falls
Christine Falls is probably going to be the first waterfall you’ll encounter after passing through the Nisqually Entrance of Mt Rainier National Park. That’s because the road between Nisqually…
Narada Falls
Narada Falls was Julie’s favorite waterfall in Mt Rainier National Park. That was saying something considering that I could have argued in favor of Comet Falls or Spray Falls…
Myrtle Falls
Myrtle Falls gave us that rare opportunity to photograph a waterfall in front of Mt Rainier – Washington’s most iconic mountain. Apparently, it’s for this reason alone that makes this waterfall…
