Rainbow Falls

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Rainbow Falls is a must see for anyone visiting the Mammoth Lakes area. In the afternoon (after 2pm if I remember right) a rainbow appears at the foot of the falls.

Make sure you time this right since we met a couple of photographers that were quite upset, they hiked to the falls in the morning and missed the rainbow. Why they could not wait after hauling some major camera equipment to the foot of the falls I don’t know.

We did not miss the shot.

Here Caz and I are swimming in the falls. The pool is quite deep, the air is thick with water vapor and there is a strong breeze flowing off the falls.

Caz enjoyed swimming in the falls so much that he made us hike all the way back again the next day to take another dip in the fall pool.
