Wow - great set Tim. I love seeing images from that place and you just showed 3 good reasons why - beautiful work.
Outstanding - an excellent example of why this spectacle gets such a following.
I like it - the down in front focus makes the scene seem larger and makes a nice leading visual for the falls behind.
I love the little steps at the bottom of those falls. Nice to catch a small branch stuck in one of the cascades.
I clicked your link and read the page. You must also print the ticket you purchase and display it in your vehicle. Well that sucks, as I don't have a printer. I would think that the FOREST service could keep the process all digital and NOT have everyone printing a piece of paper for that one day and then have to throw away that paper. Isn't the point of going digital to prevent excess use of paper products? Sorry, rant is over now.
Not gonna disagree. This place is going to be on my Places to Avoid(TM) list for the summer. That said if the crowds are so bad they need something like this I'm not sure I want to go there anyway......I clicked your link and read the page.

Lots of roads in the higher elevations of the Gifford Pinchot NF aren't usually open in early April most years due to snow cover and scenes like the one you posted above.I made the mistake of going to the Lower Lewis River Falls in early April. Never saw a single car or a human between Cougar WA and the falls all morning. One issue was that the Forest Service didnt start removing the fallen trees until mid month. I also messed up taking my sedan instead of the SUV. We had a terrific time though.
