Nestled among the
Uintah mountians of
Utah is one of the most
beautiful places north of the
Tropic of Cancer. It is a
natural spring where
ground water seeps out of a large
round area that outlets runoff from a
glacier higher in the mountians.
The water runs down through a
series of
rough cascades (the upper cascades) into a group of larger
limestone cascades (the lower cascades) where the water
calmly flows down twoard a river at the bottom of the
canyon and it enters a
sinkhole along with both ends of the river.
There are
fish that live in the limestone cascades that are not found anywhere else in the area and may not be caught, so
do not bring fishing gear.
The area is
excellent for
photography, bring a
polarizing filter, a short
lens, a mid-length lens (200 or 300mm), and some color 100 speed
film. The upper cascades are beautiful, and cannot be described in words. The lower cascades are good for
pictures of fish, which
contrast well with the limestone cascades.
This would be a
great place to bring a
girl for a
romantic walk, on the
paved/
boardwalk trails through the cascades area.
