This area is Golden. Thought I would get it finished as this was second trip! But have to go back yet again! I really had fun here, walking stream most all the way.

Waterfalls, Whats areas and types interest You! 6-5-2017

Waterfalls, Whats areas and types interest You!

I am curious! We all view our destinations based on our personal preferences. For all you “Waterfall” folks, what areas or types of waterfall locations do you choose to see.

Do you like long hikes to get to a waterfall?
Do you prefer a roadside stop here and there along a route to your end destination?

Do you prefer hikes less then 1 mile to see a waterfall?

Would you only visit tourist areas of attractions like Niagara Falls, Watkins Glen State Park or Letchworth State Park?

Would you camp in the woods over night, just to see waterfalls?

If you were to choose a waterfall destination where would it be?

I would like to see your comments!

My point of view
I love waterfalls, of course. I do not like lots of people, therefore I would choose lesser known places to travel to. As well as the adventure it brings. Niagara Falls is a totally awesome place, yet I found every time I went it was too overwhelming with all the people. I love following the “Whitewater rafting/kayaking” folks. I love watching as they plummet over the falls! Sure there on plenty of on lookers, cheering on their friend or family or spouses. Everyone is there with the same common interest. That and I get to learn and find more waterfalls in which is classified as rapids! I have had more adventures and stories to tell for years later! Cool, I think so.

Today they had the scheduled whitewater release on the Beaver River. It was not as easy as I thought it would be to find all the locations I had planned for today. I was very disappointed with High Falls. We found the Belfort area. We found the Taylorville take out but somehow missed where the access for put in was and the trail. So no photos there. With a lot of time wasted driving around. We did find Jerden Falls as well. Just a few pics from today.

 

This first photo is Belfort Dam (Beaver River)

This one is also with the Belfort Dam. If you are in the parking area for the fishing area, you would be next to the dam. Cross the bridge to the other side and you see this.
