Hi Alex - I suggest this waterfall to new campground arrivals who want their first area 'waterfall fix'. I also suggest they approach it from this angle as it's such an unusual immediate visual impact. After that - they're ready for more! Vicki

Good morning, Steve. That B&B is indeed that close to this waterfall. I love the sound of running water and would be lulled right to sleep. I'm glad you enjoyed this image. There's quite a bit happening in it but it seemed appropriate to keep it all. Vicki

Extraordinary shot, Vicki! What a picture can't convey of course is the noise of all that water. If that B&B is as close to the falls as the compressed perspective of this shot makes it appear, then I doubt I'd sleep a wink! :) I love waterfalls, so I'm looking forward to your next set!

Hi Mary. It is quite an unexpected, yet amazing waterfall to behold. I'm hoping I can walk out on the bridge, but by the projection I doubt that I will get this fullness of the waters or even see the river at the bottom. Fingers crossed. Hopefully there will be a place to pull off. We were not planning on going that way tomorrow - if time permits on the ay back e will as it isn't far from here. Vicki

How exciting to see a sight like this as you enter the town. It does look like the waterfall will spill out and run down the street. Would you be able to get a photo looking down on the waterfall and town from the bridge?

Thank you for your wonderful comments, Cindy and Don. This first view rather surprised me too, Cindy - the waterfall definitely dwarfs the town, but fortunately the river it empties into is quite a distance below street level. Don, I had never seen a photo of this waterfall before. I was fascinated by all the 'mini' falls after the rain and snow runoff . . . can't wait to see more of these - we're off to one tomorrow that's even higher than Niagara Falls - but obviously a lot more narrow!

Great looking capture Vicki! It really gives a good idea of the size of the falls. From other photos I've seen, I never would have guessed the falls were that large. Neat shot! Don

Thats really captivating Vicki, it almost looks like it could flow down the street. Great to view.
