As the Other Shoe Drops
Zapata Falls in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of southern Colorado will wow the first time visitor. A slot canyon, after just one mile of hiking, and this incredible two tiered waterfall inside of a cave! I set my tripod up in the water below to catch this perspective with a wide angle lens, on the first try! Limited Edition of 450.
Frozen Spigot
Just a few hundred yards from Hanging Lake near Glenwood Springs, Colorado (a trail that is so heavily trafficked in the summertime months that one must wait to take a bus to the trailhead), Spigot Rock is a unique waterfall, where water appears to just spout right out from the middle of the rock face. Check it out in winter to avoid the crowds and experience these unique ice formations (bring traction!)
Whisked Away
Depending on which map is referenced, this is either Fern Falls or Marguerite Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park. An impressive cascade it is indeed, at a convenient resting spot on the trail. Moments like this, stumbling upon a 60 foot water terrace of pure beauty, are what make hiking the rewarding and unforgettable experience that it is.

The Paths of Least Resistance
Cascade Creek, near Grand Lake, Colorado offers the explorer myriad waterfall views: this one, even in late Summer, left a lasting impression.
Tranquil Seclusion
The tranquility this spot offered: very much nestled away, secluded, and so peaceful…with a perfect blend of lush foliage, clean flowing water, and light softened by the old-growth forest that enshrouds the area—it was a truly unique place. I can still feel the inch-deep placid film of spring water running through my toes, again, as I look at this image.
Heightened Curiosity
I generally try to harness the calm, flowing nature of waterfalls in my photographs-easy to do with this beautiful series of waterfalls, which remind me of the old adage about snowflakes…surely, there can’t be another exact one of these?
While it may instill a feeling of calm due to the long shutter, believe me, standing in the foot of this precipitous cascade will automatically instill a sense of Nature’s POWER; it’s akin to a whole mountainside falling down, in perpetuity.WashingtonPNWPanther Creek FallsWaterfallGifford PinchotLandscapeslow shutterlong exposurewaterflowing waterwaterscape
