Waterfalls

Western Washington has a few decent ones in the Cascade Mountains. Snoqualmie Falls is less than an hour from Seattle so it's a huge tourist draw. I like Wallace Falls, with a long hike along a river along a well maintained trail (lots of elevation gain) and a lower falls and an upper falls. Here's a pic of the lower falls. It's not as spectacular as other places, but in context, the setting in the woods in the mountains is pretty awesome.

The only falls I've been to was the Niagara Falls. Breathtaking view. (though seems a bit overrated?) By the looks of the Shoshone falls, it's a lot better than Niagara.

The Multnomah Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon - is the most beautiful waterfall I have seen in this country. I would recommend seeing the Multnomah Falls if you have the opportunity.

Pennsylvania has quite a few though not the size of many found out west. Bushkill falls is a series of 8 waterfalls on the Bushkill creek headwaters as it flows to the Deleware river. Dingmans creek in Pike county has several impressive falls. Ricketts Glen State Park has 24 water falls rangining in height from 9 feet to 94 feet. Although I've never visited them I know there are several waterfalls in Western Pa. One that comes to mind is Buttermilk Falls. Hope this helps you.

Any place with dissected mountainous topography and high rainfall. Glaciated valleys have some of the most dramatic waterfalls and hanging valleys. I like the western Cascades. Snoqualmie Falls is one of my favorites. The falls in Yellowstone are also inspiring.

Gooseberry Falls State Park in Northern Minnesota has several gorgeous waterfalls over a 10 mile or so area. Not only will you get some awesome photos, but a nice day hike too.

The pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. I hope to see one for real someday. It must be thrilling and exciting! I'm sure those waterfalls have different stories to be told. They look really mysterious though.
