How many falls?

My Mom, John, Connor and I went to Seven Falls today. It was quite lovely, and I for one was definitely pleased with the fact that they have installed an elevator inside the mountain that you can use to get to the viewing platform. The other alternative was to climb 185 steps, and I just wasn't feeling quite that motivated!

It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies, which made the views even better. We ate lunch outside, at the base of the canyon, with a view of a very steep wall.



Then we rode the mountain elevator to see the falls. To get to it, you walk through a tunnel in the mountain. (Or, if you're Connor, you ride in your stroller through the tunnel!





From the viewing platform at the top, you can see all seven falls at the same time.



Having trouble seeing all seven of them? You're not alone. This handy sign at the top shows the 7 different sections and provides some info. about each. Before this, I did not know that there are multiple types of waterfalls.
