Waterfalls 2010

After seeing Devils Falls last November, we decided to visit more of them in Northern California during the spring of 2010 when they would be at their height of flow.

Yesterday, after hearing how spectacular were the falls and the wildflowers along the American River tributaries, we decided to return to Devils Falls as we promised ourselves to do "next April" (for a background on the falls along the American River, see the November 5, 2009 post).

Comparing the 2 photos, you can see the big increase in volume! But wait! There's more! Serendipity...this time we saw at least a half dozen falls which were not present last November; no wonder, because of the heavy Winter snowfall this year in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

This time we continued on Yankee Jim's Road to Foresthill -a little longer on our return home, but well worth it for all the new vistas!
