That's a nice variation on the usual scenes up there, Ned. Iike this one with a bit of the top cropped off - at that narrow point in the stream, just below the diagonal mossy log. That portion of the image is a bit busy for me, and pulls away from the beautiful flow of log/water/rocks that are the central theme across the middle of the image. This is a very pleasant departure from the ordinary!

I kinda thought the same thing, Tom - thanks for the confirmation... I've been working on other Wahkeena photos as well - I really like it up there..
I most definitely agree - it's a little slice of heaven! Has any of the trail damage above the falls been cleaned up? I hiked through last November, but before the storms, so I haven't seen the hit that this area took.

There was still a lot of damage above the first bridge with the second bridge as you know, wiped out..
Wow - that's too bad, and I'm a little surprised. The USFS must have cleaned out the Wahkeena budget when they paved the trail to the top last year. You'd think this trail would be a top priority, simply from a safety consideration, given the sheer number or people who hike the trail.
