Martha Falls
Martha Falls was a waterfall that got to see from a distance across Stevens Canyon. Even though we saw a tiny trail along the Stevens River deep in the canyon, we had run out of time…
Spray Falls
Spray Falls took me a bit of work to reach while also requiring a bit of risk to see it as you see on the photo above. So your experience at this falls could be a fulfilling one, a disappointing…
Rocky Brook Falls
Rocky Brook Falls might have been Julie’s favorite waterfall on the Olympic Peninsula. In addition to exceeding her expectations of what she thought was a relatively obscure and unknown waterfall…
Beaver Falls
Beaver Falls was a waterfall we almost gave up on because it was one of the more obscure waterfalls on our trip to the Olympic Peninsula thanks in part because there were no signs indicating its…
Sol Duc Falls
Sol Duc Falls probably was the one waterfall that best embodied the rainforest feel of Olympic National Park as far as we were concerned. I’ve also seen this waterfall referred to as Soleduck…
Madison Falls
Madison Falls was probably one of the easiest waterfalls for us to visit. But despite its ease of access, this was also one of the prettier waterfalls we had seen…
Marymere Falls
Marymere Falls was a waterfall that we knew had a lot of fanfare prior to our visit. So it was no surprise to us that it was certainly one of the more popular waterfalls as its car park was…
Moonlight Falls
Moonlight Falls is one of those backcountry waterfalls that’s really more of an incidental attraction in an area better known for 14,000ft peaks and alpine lakes…
“Glacier Point Falls”
“Glacier Point Falls” is the informal name I’m giving to this very short-lived waterfall. In all the years I’ve visited Yosemite and hiked the John Muir Trail, I never…
Bonita Falls
Bonita Falls is one of those waterfalls where you really have to look past its flaws (most of which were human-induced) in order to appreciate its true beauty and fun…
Tahquitz Falls
Tahquitz Falls (pronounced “TAH-kitz” and not “tah-KITZ”) was one of the more spectacular desert waterfalls we’ve ever experienced. Typically, we avoid driving way out to the deserts for waterfalls…
Bird Woman Falls and the Going-to-the-Sun Road Waterfalls
The Bird Woman Falls was perhaps the tallest and most recognizable of the waterfalls seen along the Going-to-the-Sun Road (also called the Sun Road for short), especially near Logan Pass…
Running Eagle Falls
Running Eagle Falls (also called Trick Falls) was probably one of the more unique waterfalls we’ve seen in a while. What made this waterfall so unusual was that it doubled as a natural bridge…
Baring Falls
Baring Falls is a short but stocky waterfall falling maybe around 30ft or so. We thought of it as a pleasant and short day hike allowing us to do a little walking while…
St Mary Falls and Virginia Falls
St Mary Falls (or Saint Mary Falls if I spell it all out) and Virginia Falls were the waterfalling highlights of a popular trail that not only took in both these falls, but they also encompassed…
McDonald Falls
McDonald Falls was one of two roadside waterfalls that Julie and I encountered while briefly touring the western side of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. We thought the scenery on this…
Sacred Dancing Cascade and the McDonald Creek Overlook
Sacred Dancing Cascade, I believe, pertains to the wide river waterfall we saw just upstream from a footbridge spanning the McDonald Creek. There’s some confusion as to whether the waterfall…
Apikuni Falls
Apikuni Falls was perhaps the most striking waterfall that I was able to get close to during our visit to Glacier National Park. Not bad considering that I actually hadn’t planned…
Swiftcurrent Falls
Swiftcurrent Falls was a waterfall that we didn’t realize was a major waterfall in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. In fact, we had initially lumped it in with the other waterfalls…
Many Glacier Waterfalls
The Many Glacier Waterfalls page is where I’m putting a bunch of the waterfalls that we’ve noticed and photographed while visiting the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park…
