Just a half mile below 101 ft. Rainbow Falls is Lower Rainbow Falls. It is one not as much visited as the upper falls, but really is a spunky little waterfall. It is certainly not the 101 ft. monster like its upstream neighbor, but it is a really nice 26 ft. high falls. It should not be bypassed so easily.

As I mentioned, we hiked down here as a family on our first day around sunset. The light was quite nice while photographing this waterfall. The kids and Tara were upstream by the base of the falls, throwing their rocks into the water (the kids, not Tara – but then again, maybe Tara was throwing as well). I got on my water shoes and made my way downstream to this viewpoint. I was right in the water while taking this shot, as far over as I possibly dared, before the water became too deep and strong. It was cold!
