Name this Waterfall, Take 2
Here is another, "Deep in the Gorge" waterfall.

thanks for looking....

C and C always welcome....

This is one area where a 10mm would work much better than my 18mm

I left more room up top to give you a sense of how big and deep the Gorge really is in this area.

Eagle Creek I'd guess... nice perspective, D..

Which of the 5 names used at one time or another would you prefer? :smile:

Eagle Creek somewhere was my immediate response as well. I like the comp too.

It looks to me the upper part of Wahkeena Falls, just below Necktie Falls. Am I close?

Anyways, I like the idea of the pic. Nice comp.

I hereby name it "Eric's Falls". Oh, um, thats not what you meant by "Name this falls", darn. :biggrin:

Bryan, take your pick. I am only aware of one name for it....

Eagle creek is correct as far as the trail goes

Just don't call it "Eagle Falls". This one is usually called "Twister" or "Crossover" Falls. Nice vertigo shot, Darren!

Tom :smile:

Tom, you are correct....Actually "Eagle Creek Falls" is the one above Twister falls...

here is a shot of Eagle Creek Falls

Sweet shot!

Darren, I'm campaigning to dub the next one up Sevenmile Falls, rather than Eagle Creek Falls, because there are just too many (whatever) Creek Falls out there.

Hey Bryan...let me know when you get that done and I will change all my tags and file info....

who the heck decides the names of the falls anyway...I mean, how would you go about something like this....

speaking of waterfalls....I think I need to go hiking tomorrow....

Darren, that's be best shot I've ever seen of Eagle/Sevenmile Falls - really nice! Usually, it seems pretty lost in the brush foreground, but you've framed it nicely and chose an excellent shutter speed. Well done!

I'll defer to Bryan on why it will be many years before Sevenmile Falls gets its due...

Tom :rolleyes:
