northwest waterfall survey
- Showshoe Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
Snowshoe Falls is the largest waterfall along Denny Creek, but because it’s both difficult to access from below, and very hard to see from above, it doesn’t receive nearly the amount of attention that neighboring Keekwulee Falls does. Snowshoe Falls is tucked at the head of a narrow gorge, about ½ mile upstream from Keekwulee Falls, but because of the steepness of the canyon walls, it’s much more difficult to see the falls in entirety.
- Methow River (Wikipedia)
The Methow River (/ˈmɛthaʊ/ MET-how) is a tributary of the Columbia River in northern Washington in the United States. The river’s 1,890-square-mile (4,900 km2) watershed drains the eastern North Cascades, with a population of about 5,000 people. The Methow’s watershed is characterized by relatively pristine habitats, as much of the river basin is located in national forests and wildernesses. Many tributaries drain the large Pasayten Wilderness. An earlier economy based on agriculture is giving way to one based on recreation and tourism.
