Watervallen Amerika

Als je onze reisverslagen leest, die zie je al gauw dat wij erg graag watervallen bezoeken. We zagen er al een kleine tweehonderd, van de meesten daarvan vind je 1 of meer foto’s op onze site. Amerika alleen is al goed voor ongeveer 80 verschillende watervallen! Toch hebben we er tijdens de eerste reizen die we daar hebben gemaakt nog niet echt veel bezocht, de teller begon pas écht te lopen toen we ontdekten hoe mooi het noordwesten van Amerika is. Het natuurgebied Columbia River Gorge is echt een must als je van watervallen houdt. We waren daar voor het eerst in 2013, maar zijn er – speciaal voor de watervallen – in 2016 nóg eens naartoe gegaan. Ook op andere plekken hebben we prachtige watervallen gezien. Zoals Panther Creek Falls, een onbekende waterval in de staat Washington. Of Bullion Falls en Lower Calf Creek Falls, allebei in de woestijnstaat Utah. Heel bijzonder was Grand Falls in Arizona, de waterval die bruin van kleur is omdat door het water veel modder wordt meegesleurd. Ook in de Nationale Parken hebben we veel watervallen gezien, vooral in Olympic National Park en Glacier National Park. En natuurlijk zijn we na onze twee bezoeken aan het oosten van Amerika ook met de nodige watervallen-foto’s thuisgekomen. (Klik op de foto’s voor een grotere versie).
