Rainier that can be easily viewed. Unicorn Creek drops over 600' in a series of drop highlighted by a 125' tall fan shaped drop near the top and the final 150' plunge into Stevens Canyon. There isn't really anywhere to see the entire falls clearly, but the view from the side of the road is pretty nice by itself." Note that the photo shows nearly identical framing.

No, I was just wondering, was it a newly discovered waterfall, found on a 2 week wilderness trek, or the most easily viewed scenic fall on the mountain as seen from the road?

When I hike I try to never follow roads nor others' trails, it's why I usually get photos that nobody else has ever taken. Tourist-traps be damned. What's the big deal if there was some minor road somewhere above or below where I was hiking? If that is indeed the same falls. It sure looks like it is but I can't say with 100% certainty. I take a photo and move on to find more. |
