As I've mentioned before in this blog, I love waterfalls. Situated only
45 minutes out of town is maybe one of the most beautiful waterfalls
I've ever seen, and even moreso around this time of year. The local
guide informed me that Vedder Falls is normally a gorgeous waterfall
with 2 fingers (a finger being defined as an individual waterfall part
of the system) however when the creek is flooded, it actually becomes a 4
fingered waterfall.
Now, let me preface this by saying I've seen
many of the local waterfalls and they are all gorgeous... but the
flooded Vedder Falls is amazing. Conveniently located as a 5 minute
walk off the highway, the convenience to beauty ratio is completely
worth it. It is gorgeous and a nicely made viewing platform right on the
edge of the falls with a great little trail to hike down the creek a
ways.
