Cascade Falls

Cascade Falls is a pretty diminutive 20ft waterfall, but it was one of the “easier” waterfall hikes we did in Marin County, and it seemed there were a lot of memorable things…

Little Falls

Little Falls in the Santa Lucia Wilderness is one of those waterfalls we had to go out of our way for. For starters, we managed to visit this waterfall while lodging in Big Sur…

“Castro Canyon Waterfall” is a name I’m making up for this surprise waterfall. It’s actually on the Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn property, but you can see the lower part of the falls from…

Fairy Falls was a waterfall in the Waitakere Ranges that I deferred from our November-December 2004 trip to New Zealand as we had run out of time. So when we came back to New Zealand in…

Omaru Falls

Omaru Falls was a waterfall that snuck up on us. It all started during our first visit to New Zealand in November 2004 when we were driving from Whakapapa Village to Hamilton along the SH4…

Waihi Falls

Waihi Falls seemed to be a relatively little known waterfall and perhaps the southernmost of the North Island waterfalls that we had visited. In fact, this waterfall was so obscure that even a DOC…
