This little drop is upstream from the main waterfall of Twin Falls which flows into a canyon.

After visiting Amnicon Falls yesterday, today I went to Twin Falls but in order to view the falls at the base, you have to cross the stream which normally you can step on rocks to get across without getting your feet wet. But the melting snow caused the water level to be a lot higher so even with boots, I wasn’t able to cross without stepping in icy waters so I could only take the trail to the top of the falls instead.

While the quiet stream today looks peaceful, in the past the rushing water had power to cut a deep gorge in the rocks. Sections of the stream cuts under the cliff which eventually will cause more huge boulders to fall as seen downstream.

Reaching a waterfall may be a short hike from a parking lot, or a very long hike and even a walk that involves crossing a stream several times. And while a hike to Twin Falls isn’t that long, it does require getting your feet wet if you are unable to hop across the rocks. And even if you manage not to slip off a rock and keep your feet dry, it is sometimes easier to walk upstream in the water than climbing around boulders as you near the falls.

I always enjoy visiting a waterfall and once in a while I am lucky to be present when the sun angle and wind speed are just right to create a rainbow in the mist from the falling water.

There wasn’t a lot of flow at Twin Falls last July, but with the dry conditions this year there might not be enough to stand under to cool off on this hot day. Larson Creek has carved a gorge in the sandstone and the lower drop of the falls is about twelve feet.

The above freezing temperature allowed some melting of snow, but like this waterfall, the amount was a little trickle and falling from my roof. It will take a warmer day to get more flow.

The recent rain caused my pond to overflow again although I rather see water flowing over a falls instead, especially since I couldn’t mow part of my lawn today again with the standing water. Twin Falls is in an area that hasn’t had as much rain so the flow is lighter but at least it was flowing when I hiked back to it earlier this month.

The peaceful low flow of this waterfall in the fall doesn’t have the roar of the springtime run off. There was very little dripping from the snow melting in temperatures just barely above freezing today since not a spring melt.

It finally got above freezing today so instead of more snow today, rain is falling and melting some of the snow off the roof but not enough to flow like a little waterfall yet.
