The Best Waterfall Spots Near me

Yosemite Falls was incredibly crowded all day and night, but if you get there around 5am in the spring, you can have the place all to yourself for a bit. It’s a truly magical place.

On my recent trip to Iceland I managed to capture the beauty of this amazing natural waterfall and nearby countryside. Praise God. The world is amazing.

I was walking to get closer to the waterfall when I noticed this person and how huge was the waterfall compared to her.

I hiked nearly a hundred miles in Iceland, and yet one of my best photos from the trip was only a 2-minute walk from the parking lot.

It was always a dream to go to Iceland when I was there, everything couldn’t be so perfect as it was. I still feel the power of the water and it’s sound.

When the moon is out you need no light to walk around. The moon lights up the water and makes every look so beautiful. I was trying to capture what I saw through my own eyes that night.

This hidden majesty was captured deep inland on the southern part of Iceland. You have to take a 4x4 road for about 10 miles. Once you reach jagged parking lot, you can hear the raging water flowing down, crashing against the rocks below. Haifoss is the second tallest waterfall in Iceland. Do not miss out on it’s beauty.

8 mile hike in and out of this place. It is located in the heart of the grand canyon. It is a bright colorful waterway that will blow your mind at every spot.

Back in early March, I had spent the morning with Icelandic ponies and the afternoon wandering around Seljalandfoss and Gljúfrabúi waterfalls. Both are beautiful and situated close by each other. This photo was taken just when the moon was rising and peaking through at the top.

This Gem is one of Iceland’s most photographed locations. I could not miss out on it’s beauty.

Had a three day weekend so I went out to Salem with a few friends to explore the Silver Falls State Park, which did not disappoint. Snapped a few pics, and this one really turned out.

If you ever have the opportunity to make it up to Rocky Mountain National Park just outside of Denver you will not regret it. My wife and I took a short 6.4 mile hike to see four different lakes and this waterfall (Alberta Falls) starting at the Bear Lake Trailhead. Excellent way to spend a day. This area of our stunning planet will remind you what an breathtaking place we inhabit.

Goðafoss, the Waterfall of the Gods, is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. In winter, this waterfall is absolutely incredible to see, and altogether impossible to photograph. The spray from the falls was freezing the second it hit my lens. I spent 6 hours here, and some of that time was spent taking photos.

One of Iceland’s most photographed waterfalls - and for good reason too. This is one surefire way to get soaked on your way down the south Icelandic coast towards Vik!

A beautiful and big waterfall, it was taken at the end of the day. I was waiting for someone for this pic; then that person took place in the corner :)

A walk among crystal clear lakes in Plitvice. Pretty neat if you have good weather…also bad for photos, because you have people everywhere

It’s my first holiday since adulthood. I’ve never experienced such beauty in nature before and stood for almost an hour just watching the water splash upon itself.

According to legend, the first Viking settler in the area, Þrasi Þórólfsson, buried a treasure in a cave behind the waterfall. The legend continues that locals found the chest years later, but were only able to grasp the ring on the side of the chest before it disappeared again. The ring was allegedly given to the local church. The old church door ring is now in a museum. I wanted to capture this waterfall associated with this legend. Searching for Þrasi’s chest of gold.

I was going through some old photos and I found this shot from the first time we landed in Iceland. We drove for about 40 min and just randomly chose a turn-off. The area looked beautiful but pretty flat and we just happened to stumble upon this beauty. I knew right then that I had fallen in love with this place, I was hooked.
