Silver Creek Falls in the Winter

Bill and I just made a trip to Silver Creek Falls yesterday to see what it's like in the winter. This is the swollen river on the way to the North Falls. We could hear the roar of the falls long before we approached it!


The mosses are always beautiful any time of the year!


















Our first view of the North Falls
The view as we walked behind the falls

















The cavernous area that has formed behind the falls (Bill is searching for goodies in his back pack)


















It is spectacular to see this much water in the falls!













Looking back at the view as we continue on the trail toward Twin Falls

















Looking down at the river from the trail
Bill, on the trail


















I am wearing Bill's hat to keep my ears warm...glamorous huh?












Moss, river, boulders and fog












The boulders are covered in licorice fern.
The trail and everything around it is covered in frost as we continue on.




































There are several deep water holes.
One must look upward as well as downward to see what beauties nature has to offer!


















Bill, just before we arrive at Twin Falls

















The only falls we have never been to before on this trail
The beautiful sky and layers of scenery are so restful as we drive home.

Becky, those pictures are absolutely gorgeous!! They should be a calendar or on posters suitable for framing. Thank you for sharing the beauties of your adventure. Wish I had been there but at least I got to share with your pictures.

Wow, a different kind of beautiful. I have only been to SCF in the summer. Thanks so much for sharing these. I wish I had inherited a portion of your artistic & photographic talents!

Hi Becky
Are these the same waterfalls that you took me and Roger to when we visited in 2005? We still have the photos and look at them often and think of you all.
