Ribbon Falls

This was an amazing place, tucked back up this short side canyon is Ribbon Falls. Or as I keep mistakenly calling it 'Rainbow Falls'. I'd like to say I do that just to aggravate Moe, but no... I lay the blame on my aging brain. Bonus though that it aggravates Moe ;>)

The falls are about 30m in height & terminate in a travertine cone covered in lush vegetation which stands in contrast to the dry desert environment we'd been hiking in all day.




A short scramble takes you to the top of the cone & a path leads around behind the waterfall. How cool is that??





To get a sense of scale do you see Moe in this shot? Center right.

One of the trip hilites for sure.


A 'group' shot at the base of the cone. L>R Clayton, Moe.

Seems you guys may have had the place to yourselves, too.

Really neat spot!!
