Beautiful Wahclella
The first place I took John was beautiful Wahclella Falls. Easy hike. Beautiful waterfall. What more could you possibly want?
The best viewpoints for this waterfall require wading across the creek. The first thing I noticed as I did this was that there was more flow in the waterfall this year in October, then when I was here last year in September. The creek was higher, and the crossing was certainly trickier. I warned John to be very careful on the slippery rocks, and he made it all right, though he did drop his polarizer in the water (but was able to retrieve it). I love this particular spot because you get a nice reflection of the waterfall. It is very rare that you see waterfall reflections, but for some reason Wahclella has the stuff.

Putting cameras in drysacs is very cheap insurance.

Sweet, Leon! The Big Faucet is turned on pretty good for Fall…I also like the angle where you can see up her skirts to the two other falls in the gorge, but there sure isn’t any clear water or reflection from there.
