Waterfall Wednesday 7/15/2026

Welcome to another round of waterfalls which might look quite refreshing to those who are suffering from excessively warm days this summer.

My falling water image for this week is in the Oregon Coast Range with one of the first views of Kentucky Falls you get from the trail as you descend down the switchbacks leading to the bottom of the falls. This is just the upper portion of the falls but the trees offer a nice frame for the view.

Pile on with whatever you have depicting falling water

This is Lower Lewis Falls in Washington State. Right beside the parking lot, these Falls are very popular on a hot summer day.

Saying these are popular on a summer day is a bit of an understatement. This place has gotten so popular in recent years they even set up a permit/reservation system to keep the crowds down. I like your small scenes from the complex of falls.

Nice - downstream from the falls? USFS blocked off access to the creek above the falls due to too many people trampling the vegetation. I like the flow across the log on the left of the small falls in this scene.
