At major waterfalls like Niagara, the windblown mist may rise and partly obscure the crashing cascade.

This small lake high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains is part of a fragile ecosystem formed by a geological fault in which the water pooled. The lake’s unique color is due to dissovled carbonate minerals. Visiting this national protected area surrounded by limestone cliffs, cottonwoods trees, and cascades requires a bit of effort: a steep 1,000-foot climb to an altitude of over 7,000 feet.
The waters of Fortescue Falls cascade all year long from the rim of Dales Gorge in Western Australia’s Karijini National Park.
This was our glamping tent home in Karijini. Every night, as soon as the sun went down, the stars came out! There was very little ambient light.
I have read that seen from space, Australia’s prominent features are low-lying plains and basins covering millions of square miles. But the continent’s deep river gorges are spotted everywhere with extraordinary waterfalls. Tolmer and Wangi Falls are situated close to each other in Western Australia’s Litchfield National Park.
