note to self - waterfalls

Watson lake to Whitehorse had three camera stops for waterfalls. Smith river was tallest. Rancheros falls was a double, and Whirlpool falls has the most ominous name. All are worth the stop and look.

there was a camp site at Whirlpool falls.  You could see that people sat around the fire on long logs that had been pulled up for that purpose.  

This is Rancheria falls.  there was an elevated boardwalk leading down to the two sets of falls, complete with mosquitos.  

The first set of falls at Rancheria.

The road to Smith falls was rough, about a mile long.  You wondered what would happen meeting another vehicle on the road, as there weren't many turn offs.  The parking area was small, and much in need of a toilet and some cleaning, as it was obvious that people were using the area as a toilet.  There was a steep trail leading straight down to the river below the falls, which we did not take.  This image was taken using a telephoto lens.  It was the biggest falls of the day, and only the upper part of it is shown in the frame.
