It rained for the better part of two weeks, so I was expecting a fair amount of water at Blackwater Falls. What we saw was more water going over the falls than I have ever seen. I didn’t even go down to the bottom of the falls overlook, because we’d have gotten soaked by the spray.<\/p>\n

You can see Ekelata Falls in 2012<\/a> and in 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Elakala Falls looked like Saturday:<\/p>\n

Here are some previous pictures of Blackwater Falls in 2013<\/a>, 2010<\/a>, and 2011<\/a>. Seriously, go look at those pictures and compare them to what we saw Saturday.<\/p>\n

This is Pendleton Creek beneath the Pendleton Lake accessed from Dobbin House Trail. This was a difficult hike down to the creek, but well worth the view.<\/p>\n

There is a bridge just below Pendleton Lake, and you can pretty easily get down to Pendleton Creek . It’s all shale, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I took (approximately) a zillion pictures.<\/p>\n
