Rainbow Falls


Two streams joining at a waterfall is an uncommon occurrence. At Rainbow Falls, a side stream falls down the side of the gorge to join the main stream near the end of a three-part waterfall.

There are several cascades between Central Cascade and Rainbow Falls that may make interesting photographs as well, but are not detailed here.
