Twin Falls near Kyles Landing (Click on photograph to purchase a print)
This particular waterfall is featured in all the guide books and has been photographed millions of times. I like to work Twin Falls early or late in the day for a few reasons. You will not have as much harsh light (unless it’s a cloudy day) and the crowds won’t be there. I have been here when over 100 people were at the falls. People were rappelling down from the top and climbing up from the bottom. The falls themselves generate so much wind that it’s hard to catch the surrounding trees without a bit of wind noise. It’s called Twin Falls officially but others have re-named it Triple Falls. I will stick with tradition. If you go there, make sure you hike around the top and work your way upstream as there are many more small cascades that most people don’t go to.
