Album Waterfalls

Red Ledges Cascades during the Subway hike last Wednesday. One of the reasons I had to redo this hike, because all my shots from last year were gone forever.

Thanks. The Smokies are beautiful and full of waterfalls, but the crowds can be maddening.
 
The park service's current approach is to open the falls during the winter when no one will swim in the pool due to the temperature. The problem with this particular spot is speed of the water and de-oxygenation, which reduces buoyancy to the point that even strong swimmers just sink. I too was pretty bummed when NPS first closed this, but the more I've thought about it the more I can understand.

Enough of that though. How about some waterfalls?
