Such nice, soft, flowy water.
Beautiful.

Perhaps you should name it, something suitable like Montucky Falls. Looks refreshing.

I will have to call the tribe: it may have an Indian name but doesn’t appear on the map.
The flow now is about a tenth of the volume it would normally have this time of year and this time there is no more snow above it. It may be dry by summer.

Yes, it could well have an Indian name. A low flow level this early in the year doesn’t bode well.

The lack of water this summer will be a very serious problem. I have already found small streams that usually flow all year, dry already this year, two that I’ve never seen dry before.
I was going to call the tribe today and see if they had a name for this waterfall, but I had to respond to a house fire this morning and a grass fire this afternoon. Hopefully tomorrow.

If it were, I think I’d have to take better care of it, Bo.

How beautiful and silky. You can see where the falls hits the rocks on the way down. Love the deep, rich colors of the rocks and moss.

The way it is situated, the sun doesn’t hit the moss wall and the moss is watered by spray.

Another vote for Momtucky Falls!
I was going to ask how the flow was. Looks like the Spring snows are hitting south of you. Same weather pattern as what’s been with us all winter.

Yes, the same pattern has persisted all winter. Tomorrow the forecast is for rain, but lately when it does rain it is not much ore than a mist; no accumulation.

If my pager quits going off I’ll see if the tribe has a name for it. I’m a little surprised though that they haven’t at least maintained a nice trail to it, but they haven’t.

I don’t know about a name but I wish I were sitting there right now.

Not a bad spot to sit a spell burstmode, especially in the heat of summer. It’s shady and the water is cold.

I like water coming out of rocks. Can’t believe someone hasn’t named, though.

I will do more research, Sandy. I use Forest Service maps of the Lolo National Forest for this area. They show some of the Reservation, but not all of the names of streams and places. I haven’t been able to find a good map of the Res.

Nice water flow movement.

With the low flow rate, the configuration of the rocks behind the water is somewhat visible which is actually more interesting to me than the falls with a higher volume of water. This photo of it was taken last year, and the perspective is different, but you an see how much more flow there was,

I like this a LOT, Terry. Particularly the harder edges where the water is glancing over each successive layer of rock. Just the right amount of silkiness. Very cool!

At first I was lamenting the low flow rate this year, but because of it, one can see the structure of the rocks and I liked that.

There’s also a lake near this falls, Iona, if you really want to cool off. It’s near Rainbow Lake on the Flathead Indian Reservation.
