Winter 2009 Frozen Waterfalls

[TJDIV]

Some frozen waterfall shots from this winter. I'm heading out today to get shots of a few others. I wish I had something in here for scale..these things are huge.

Memorial Falls

The ice on the left is about a foot taller than I am @ 6'4..

Ice dusted by snow..

Water still flowing...

Tannery Falls (The ice on the base of the stone wall is about 5' tall)

For scale, from last winter, this is Munising Falls which is just a tad larger than the above falls in height.

This is about as close as you can get around Tucson. LOL

Chiva Falls - not frozen flow but nicly iced rocks around the base.

The falls are still frozen here in Southern NM. Bluff Springs in the Sacramento Mountains.

Cool shots :Wow1:

So we went for it today and hiked in to Miners Falls. Talk about working up a sweat in the middle of winter :elkgrin:

But worth it. What an awesome frozen waterfall...
Those are full grown trees at the top.

Looks like some ice climbing potential.

They climb quite a few ice formations here, but I've never watched much of it. We have a Winterfest that just recently started last year and hopefully I'll get to see some of the events.

Miners Falls is a pretty big waterfall for our area...and to see it frozen is definitely "worth the hike"

For reference. From this April:
