I am curious! We all view our destinations based on our personal preferences. For all you “Waterfall” folks, what areas or types of waterfall locations do you choose to see.
My point of view
I love waterfalls, of course. I do not like lots of people, therefore I would choose lesser known places to travel to. As well as the adventure it brings. Niagara Falls is a totally awesome place, yet I found every time I went it was too overwhelming with all the people. I love following the “Whitewater rafting/kayaking” folks. I love watching as they plummet over the falls! Sure there on plenty of on lookers, cheering on their friend or family or spouses. Everyone is there with the same common interest.

Cooks Falls is on private property. please respect land owners and do not tresspass.

I have learned so much in the past few weeks, regarding pages, posts etc. Background work is more than I ever thought. The steps it takes to set up a proper working website that until now never understood their functions. So, hang in there, check back often. Thanks for all you patience as I work through it all.
