The lighter flow in winter helped me get closer to the falls than I could last time, when I visited in spring.

On the McDowell Falls trail in December, at dusk.

Reece looks so small, doesn't he? This fall is on The Salt Creek Falls trail in the central Oregon Cascades.
|
|
A short hike up 143 stone stairs takes you to the top of these falls.

Just pretty.

Reece's foot pokes through the bridge at McDowell Creek Falls.

Two creeks join together just below this fall and the next.

I still think this part of the creek is more beautiful than the waterfall that towers 200 yards upstream.
|
|
In winter the waterflow here is incredible.

amazing location for photos, just outside Mapleton

Another shot of Sweet Creek Falls.

Every time I come back here I find some new beautiful bend in the creek.

My husband explores the waters of Sweet Creek.

This fall is often photographed, so I was excited to go and see it in person. It's well worth the drive up and the 1-mile loop hike through an old lava flow.
|
|
Water here flows down the side of a cliff and into a pool. This pool has no outlet, but drains through lava rock that makes up the bottom.

In Yosemite National Park, taken just before sunrise from the trail from Glacier Point to Half Dome.

Along the Skyline Trail in Mt. Rainier National Park. Even in late June snow still covers much of this area. This photo taken by my husband, Reece, and used with permission.

|
This "mini" fall next to Majestic Falls caught my eye.
|
|
I can't recall the name of these falls, but couldn't resist posting the photo anyway. North Cascades National Park in Washington isn't very well known, but the scenery is incredible.

|
In Yosemite, taken from the top of Sentinel Dome, an easy day hike from Hwy 41.
|
|
These falls lie in the virgin forest of Waldo Lake Wilderness in Oregon's Cascade Range. It's worth the backwoods drive to walk through the old growth and see these falls.
