One of the many things the Beautiful Windy and I like to do together when we travel is find a waterfall.  It's a simple thing really. A bunch of water falling over a cliff, mountain, glacier, or whatever happened there.  But it's a fun thing to do.

What is it about these things?  When we visit one I can't help but think, how this happened, how long it's been flowing and the fact that it never stops does amaze me. Where does all the water come from, and how does it not run out - EVER? Not many things on earth are as constant as a waterfall.  Maybe nothing is.  You would be hard pressed to find someone that isn't memorized by a nice waterfall, well maybe the kids.  But people travel from all over the world to see a good one.

When you visit Niagara Falls, you kind of feel guilty when you leave the falls view to go do something else. Then you remember that it'll more than likely be flowing tomorrow when you get up and you feel a bit better.  So you can go to the Daredevil Museum, Wax Museum, IHOP, or take the kids to a video place, with that off your mind.

Niagara And Horseshoe Falls - Close and worth a visit!

My favorite though is the Snake River Falls we saw in Idaho this past summer.  We got up and drove there at about 430AM because of severe jet-lag, and an urge to see elk and moose, and I'm glad we did. We had the entire place to ourselves and the peace was incredible. We took it all in, and started the day off right.  And this place was secluded, so it was really cool.  (There was no wax or daredevil museum there)

Snake River Falls, Not close but really worth it if you're out that way!

And for us around here, there are places in the MetroParks, namely the Rocky River Reservation, where the falls flow, and when they freeze, they are even cooler!

So, waterfalls?  Yay or Nay?  I say YAY!

And, we saw a moose too!

430 AM Falls - Fantastic!
