Nice Tim. I was thinking about heading to Kings River but didn't make it out today.

Tim, this really nice, the snow in left side combined with hint of sun in the background really gives you many areas to explore in this shot. I like the pano effect also.

I just love the water color at this falls - I don't think I've ever seen it muddy. Looks like there was quite a bit of snow over there too. Nice shot, Tim.

Yup, that pool is always a nice emerald color, which is funny since so much of the drainage is pasture. I guess the times when the river is up really high and running muddy you can't hike in since the trail would be covered up! The back way in is a much longer hike.

I messed up and should have been here the day before since there would have been a lot more snow - someone did make it though and I bet got some terrific images.

Very nice, and the sunlight in the background is a bonus, IMO

A beautiful scene, enhanced by the emerald pool in the foreground ... very nice! Glad you got out Tim.

Is it just me, or does the falling water have a nice icy feel to it? Beautiful photo Tim.

Yup, that water did have an icy feel to it, but I'm not sure how nice that feeling was - by the time I had to cross it for the fourth time I could not feel either foot!

With all my trips to the King's River Falls area, I never made it over there when the light was good, but I always love your stuff from here.

King's River Falls was one of the places I thought about going to on Friday, but then I got to thinking about that one steep downhill stretch that ends at a T intersection, and I decided against it. I see this photo, though, and I think maybe it might have been worth the risk.

I caught the pool muddy once in late spring last year.
