thanks!

I remember these falls on my first visit to the UP. I've never seen so much tannin in a river! Thanks for the memories.

	Hasn't voted	I was surprised too, not just the tannin but the volume of water itself! I had never visited them just after the snowmelt which I'm sure had everything to do with it.

I remeber standing on the ledge behind and under the falls as a kid. Can you still do that?

There's no trail, you'd have to rappel the 50' down to the rivers edge or do a bit of serious (and wet) bushwhacking. I wonder if maybe you're remembering the Lower Falls downstream. They have a couple smaller 10' drops that I have often seen people sitting beneath or behind.

in MI too bad it is such a long drive. Very nice photo. Looks like captured from the top of the trees.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks, the falls are always nicer during spring runoff, which this was. I count myself lucky to live near such a place.
