From December:
Laurel Falls, Pond Mountain Wilderness, Cherokee NF in NC:

Virgin Falls, Virgin Falls State Natural Area in TN:

From yesterday:
Anderson Falls, Fiery Gizzard Trail, South Cumberland State Park in TN:

Chain Falls, also from the Fiery Gizzard:

Chain Falls has only recently been named. Not sure where they got the idea for the name!

Sycamore Falls, also from Fiery Gizzard:

Before coming home from the Gizzard, I hiked into the Walls of Jericho right by the TN line in AL. Never really thought about it, but I don't know if the waterfall has an actual title.
Falls of Jericho??

I'm not used to seeing falls on big rivers. Great Falls of the Potomac out by DC.

 

[Glasterpiece]

I would have never guessed that to be the Potomac. Very nice.

Right? It definitely blew my presupposed views of the Potomac to bits.

I suppose a good motto would be 'when you see a placid river, realize that it started somewhere probably not placid'.

A few oldies from growing up in Oklahoma. These only appear during/after heavy rains. Otherwise bone dry.

We got 12+ hours of rain in Southwest Utah the other day. I got off my butt and went over to Zion Nat'l Park to see what might be happening. I found a waterpark!! It was atrocious conditions for photography. Between constant rain, snow, and fogging up lens every shot was a crapshoot. I was shocked that my camera got as wet as it did and still kept functioning. Here are shots of some of the major flows. There were easily 3 times as many other Ephemeral waterfalls. The walls of the canyon were flash flooding. It felt reassuring that I could be so miserable because of the cold and the Soaking rain, yet ecstatic about being there!

Emerald Pools and Heaps from the Kayenta Trail

Looking across the canyon to the flow out of Lodge Canyon

Behunin Drainage

Heaps at Upper Emerald Pool. 20 feet closer and I got drenched from the swirling moisture.

Refrigerator Canyon at the base of Angel's Landing....with the Virgin River

Looking across to the flow out of Echo Canyon above Weeping Rock

Flow coming in at Grotto Springs......beyond the Grotto area

Hidden Canyon

The drop at the start of the Riverside Walk....and the Virgin

Along the Riverside Walk

Another angle of the Riverside Walk falls

Looking across to the same falls. It looked huge from over here.

I road walked from the Temple of Sinewava to Big Bend. The eastern walls were flowing. It got increasing hard to capture what I was seeing because fogging up lens became critical plus I am shooting straight up wall.......hard to even act like the camera isn't getting wet.

From the Lodge of Heaps

Falls near Court of the Patriarch's shuttle stop

Falls at the head of the canyon at Court of the Patriarch's
