"Known to many as "Chocolate Falls" because of its muddy color, this massive waterfall is higher than Niagara Falls, with a vertical relief of 185 feet. The best time to see the falls is after snow melting in early spring and after a summer thunderstorm." this is best viewed FULL FRAME. i'll be posting more from this place. it was awesome. thanks in advance for any comments. ENJOY!

Oh my goodness! A 10 in my book. Where is this and how difficult is it to get to? I want to go and see this place for myself.

Now that looks like a cool place for a natural waterslide! What a great shot of the falls. Love how you got the stream of water in the background.

Very nice shot Jen! I, too, am waiting for more!
See what curiosity you created on my part?

Copied and pasted (with very little modification) from another find on the i'net...
"The Chocolate Falls, also know as Grand Falls, are just east of Flagstaff Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. The Little Colorado River drops over 185 feet at this point, not far from where it joins with the Colorado River inside the Grand Canyon. Surprisingly, few people are aware of this formation or visit it, perhaps due to its seasonal nature." So Jen, you are ONE of the few...! :o)

YouTube video of the CFalls Only 22 seconds I believe... but other links pop up to the right.
