Railroad Falls
This was a great find March 13, 2016.
Railroad Falls (in West Railroad Canyon) is a 100 high tiered
waterfall. This photo below shows the
30 high upper-most tier.
The second tier starts at the
burnt log, showing in the lower right hand corner of the photo above... but the
water turns 90° sideways here to drop down the second tier...
Therefore the upper tier cannot be seen in
this photo below of the 30 high second tier.
Two
more lower tiers are shown in these next two photos...
