Dunn's River Falls


Dunn's River Falls is in Ochos Rios, Jamaica.  We stopped there on one of our cruises.  We hired a private tour guide to take us there.  What is cool about these falls is that you get to climb them.  If you look at pictures on line most people go in huge tour group and have to hold hands and climb the falls.  We had our own guide and went in our group of four at our own pace.  Very nice.


I don't have a lot of good pictures.  We just had our waterproof throw away camera at the time (many  years ago).  :(  I was hesitant to put pictures up from our heavier days but oh well. 

We heard a lot of horror stories about this cruise stop but we loved it.

Blue Hen Falls and Buttermilk Falls

Blue Hen Falls and Buttermilk falls are also in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio, outside Cleveland.

Brandywine falls is the main attraction of the park but these 2 falls are also nice.

Both of these falls are on the same trail just off of Boston Mills Road.  The park maps show the road.

Blue Hen Falls is the first fall you will encounter on the trail.  It is small.
 

Buttermilk falls is larger and is down stream less then a mile.  You will have to cross the creek at some point so your feet may get wet depending on the water levels

Lower Falls Yellowstone


Lower Falls in Yellowstone National Park are the falls that you always see in pictures of the park.  They truly are beautiful.

We stopped at Artist's Point for the distant view (the one above) but also hiked on the Upper Falls Trail to see it from the top.  From there we took another trail to get his heads on view:


The Uncle Tom's trail has metal stairs that take you down close to the falls but they were closed when we went.
