Further up the trail, Cataract Falls

A few more shots from further up the trail along Cataract Falls in Marin County. There is just something magic to me about the water flowing past those lush green covered stones -- especially in the middle of January!

The following two shots were from the falls near the top of the trail before it levels out. Again I couldn't decide between a horizontal or vertical composition, so I went for both.

I think the scene would not have been quite as compelling for me in the vertical if it wasn't for the redwood right beside the trail.

  1. Nice shots, Pat. Guess what. You didn't reach the top of the trail! Where it flattens out is just a stretch to the next set of falls. It gets steep one more time!

  2. Thanks for the heads-up, John! A good reason to go back. I must say that I started to suspect that I didn't quite see it all once you and a few others posted shots from a waterfall that I didn't recognize from my trip.

  3. I really like your vertical composition that includes the baby redwood tree. Cataract Falls on Mount Tamalpais is an amazing beauty spot. Hiking the Cataract Falls trail is a great thing to do anytime the waterfalls are flowing.
