This is the waterfall mentioned in Tim's book that is located before Tea Kettle Falls. Tea Kettle Falls was just a trickle. I was really disappointed. I was suprised to see so little water.
Tea Kettle is one of those that takes a lot of rain to get up and running. And once the leaves come out the trees suck up so much water that it really takes a flood to get it flowing. We are about done with the waterfall season until after the trees go dormant in the fall, although you can still find great waterfalls in the lower parts of drainages (like Falling Water and Kings River), and also for short periods after really big rainstorms. The best I ever saw Compton's Double Falls was in late June after three weeks of rain, but that was rare...
