This is one of the prettiest
"desert oasis" waterfalls we've seen with
an 87 foot waterfall dropping into a large pool
on what is described as a perennial stream. Lush
green hanging gardens and vivid yellow, orange and
red rock formations enhance the setting.
A short
distance from the falls is a huge overhang forming
a cave with a pool in the bottom. When we were there
(mid morning) the sun was reflecting from the pool
onto the ceiling of the cave. We didn't try to reach
the pool because of virtually impenetrable vegetation
and deep mud. However, two ducks were good enough
to make ripples in the water creating a fantastic
light show on the ceiling.
Best
time for photography is not morning since
the falls are in half shadow. Wait until mid-afternoon
or for a cloudy day. |
