+NYPaddleCacher Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) I have found lots of caches near waterfalls, from huge falls like Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe/Zambia to small cascades on a creek in the woods. I like them all. I'll start with a photo of Ithaca Falls. It is 150 feet high 175 feet wide. It's about 2 miles from where I live so I always take out of town visitors to see it. The cool thing about it is that it's basically right in a neighborhood with a little dirt parking area for a few cars, then a very short walk to the base of the falls. A cache that was placed along that walk was a real nemesis for me. I DNF'd it about six times before finally finding it. Edited June 4, 2014 by NYPaddleCacher Quote Link to comment
+lumbricus Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Great topic! Here is a picture from our first cache, it was a DNF at the first attempt. But the waterfall was great. Rottau - Der Wasserfall Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 You know why I play this game? Locals show off their favorite secret spots. Like waterfalls hidden away in unexpected places like Hong Kong (I visited two there). No marked trail; you just have to know. Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 A nice waterfall circuit in the Atherton Tablelands, QLD, Australia. One of the waterfalls, Millaa Millaa, had a cache - Millaa Millaa Magic (link to my log). My son, climbing out from behind the falls: My husband and son, swimming: Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Great topic! Thanks. I should mention that there are apparently over 100 waterfalls over 15 feet high within 10 miles of where live. Here's one this is about 1/3 of a mile from my house. There's a real nice trail that goes through the gorge that passes 19 waterfalls. There used to be a cache about in the middle of the trail. It was placed in 2002 and archived a year or so ago. Apparently there's another one but I haven't gone to find it yet. Not all my waterfall pictures are local. The pic below is just a portion of Victoria Falls from the ZImbabwe side. It's rather difficult get a picture that shows much of it, as it's over a mile wide. Quote Link to comment

+Riisearch Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 2 waterfalls in the Limietberg Nature Reserve, South Africa. Not many waterfalls where I live, so this was nice. Edited June 6, 2014 by Riisearch Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) We face an ongoing drought, so many of our waterfalls lack water, even in a season where they should have been flowing. I visited my cache at Carson Falls earlier this year, after we had a little rain. It never reached its potential, but I took this iphone photo because there was at least some water: One of my favorite waterfalls in my area is almost unknown. It is up Morse Gulch on land administered by the NPS. A physical cache is not permitted here so I once had an ALR cache that required people to take the half-mile walk on an unmaintained trail to the falls, It was archived after those types of caches were no longer permitted, but I made it into a geocaching challenge . . . until those disappeared. Depending on the time, the path up here is marked by wildfilowers, nettle, and creek crossings, but the falls have a special mystery: Still, it is always nice when caching takes me to a waterfall.

+hzoi Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) We really enjoyed Gollinger Wasserfall when we were visiting friends in Germany a couple years ago. Some of my favorite waterfalls are in Iceland; I'll have to look up the caches we found there when I have more time, but for now I need to get to work! edit: sigh, I seem to always pick the link button instead of the image button Edited December 9, 2014 by hzoi Quote Link to comment

+geodarts Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 In the fourth year of a drought, I'll take my waterfalls where I find them. In this case at ~One~. Just another iphone photo. Quote Link to comment

+worstcaster Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is a waterfall on Russel Brook Rd in Roscoe, NY. It is on NY State wild forest land. I have a few caches hidden near it. Camping is allowed at marked locations on the property. Quote Link to comment

+The Rat Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I would love to get some waterfall shots with my drone, but with our drought here in California, it's not possible anywhere near me. I love some of the shots here, though. Quote Link to comment
