Several years go (before I was married and had kids), I spent a lot of time traveling the mountains and visiting waterfalls. I ran a website, wrote a book, and made it a part of my entire personality.
And then I got old and fat and lost all my free time. But here are all the waterfalls in case you want to visit them. They’re mostly, relatively easy to get to. However, it’s been years since I visited them and, thanks to time (and mostly Helene), a lot of the trail descriptions may no longer be accurate. Go at your own risk.
