I don’t have precise coordinates I’m sorry, but it’s (very) approximately lat/long (-43.4165703, 147.2344522) if that’s any help

Love it! Gfs parents live in Trumansburg so I try to get out to all of those trails a few times a year! Great shot

Well… the flow is so high because of the warm temperatures we have had recently causing premature and rapid snowmelt. It was over 60 degrees last week.
But yes, it truly made it spectacular to behold.

Enjoying the winding path, it's almost as if looking into a mirror where the canopy and trees form straight edges. The time of day couldn't have been better. Truly captivating, thank you for sharing and composing this find, job well done!

The user in this comment had some interesting points about the Tennessee waterfall.
Generally it seems that there is a significant amount of nuance (and incorrect info) regarding waterfalls on the eastern half of the United States, haha.

I can’t quite figure out the definition of a sheer-drop waterfall vs a plunge. But this is obviously an important distinction. Here’s a taller waterfall east of the Mississippi but another variety or something.
Fall Creek Falls is a 256-foot (78 m)[1] tall sheer-drop waterfall located in Fall Creek Falls State Park near Spencer, Tennessee. It is the tallest waterfall of such kind east of the Mississippi River (within the United States).

The first time I went here as a kid we were in a drought and the water volume of the falls was like someone had left on a garden hose at the top. I was sad. This amount of water is awesome!

Said rainforest. As far as I know that makes the difference here. Also I was just there and I think I have this exact tree in my photos.

Each side of the Olympic mountain range has a very distinct vibe. It’s not all rainforest.

No doubt. Do you happen to have the GPS coordinates? Would like to see this from the air.

My life has changed very subtly since I learned that 'sandia' is Spanish for 'watermelon.'
