Seven Falls

Seven Falls is, not surprisingly, a (commercially-run) place where there are seven falls in succession. Amusing story: Underneath the stairway going up (see third photo), I saw a large pipe. At the top, it disappeared into the forest near the source of the falls. At the bottom, it entered the pond. Suspicious, I asked the guy at the gift shop. Sure enough, they cheat: when it is too dry to naturally supply the falls, they pump water up to the top. Sigh. I suppose they do have to run a business. Unfortunately they've marred the rock around the falls with garish lights. I'm not opposed to lighting the falls per se, if the lights are mounted on man-made structures, but I objected to drilling holes in the beautiful rock surrounding the falls for the sake of mounting large, intrusive lights (see seventh photo).

Miscellaneous rock formations around Falls.	For scale, notice the tiny gift shop from the second photo on the right edge of the trees at the bottom.
