In early October I spend a few weeks in Colorado. I timed my visit for fall colors. I had a hint to visit this creek in the Silverton area to find some waterfalls. I was thrilled with what I found, a series of small falls. I came back several times over a few days. On my first visit I didn’t realize there were so many falls. They were spread out on the creek with only use trails between them. I counted five distinct falls and named them with numbers to help me keep track.

FIRST FALLS
The lowest falls was a crack in the rock with a log jammed in the falls.
SECOND FALLS
I thought Second Falls was the most photogenic and a young couple with a photographer thought the same.
THIRD FALLS
Third Falls was a messy log jam and I mainly include it as a reference..
This is the view looking over the edge of Second Falls. It was a precarious position and I had to move slowly and deliberately while peering over the edge with camera and tripod.
FOURTH FALLS
These falls seem to be formed by a partially collapsed manmade dam.
FIFTH FALLS
Fifth Falls were in a dark part of the canyon.

Good for you finding a vantage point to hide the jammed log in the first falls! I agree the second falls is the most photogenic. My favorites are you first and third out of this three. I like the fourth and fifth falls images as well. The 20 second pool exposure is especially unique. Great post!
