Wonderful World of Waterfalls

On our vacation, we stopped in Washington, just outside of Seattle in Snoqualamie. Staying overnight in the worst hotel ever...100 degrees, air conditioning broken, ice machine broken, and a room right on top of the highway... However, a benefit of this dreadful resort was the dread-lock winter snowboarder that stayed to work on into summer at the front desk, that told us of a trailhead with the most wonderful sight ever. After a one-mile hike into an ancient forest overgrown with moss, enormous downed cedars, and a dull thundering roar, we saw the following sight. I can only hope in vain that this photo encompasses the feelings that entered us as we stepped into view of this magnificient work of nature. An array of colors, sounds, and impressions that seldom has been beheld. The spray against our faces, the soggy mud in which we stood, and the feel of awe to behold a...WATERFALL.
