"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." -John Muir

At first sight- Kakabeka Falls in Canada

At first glance coming down the walkway to the falls, I only see a side glimpse of them.  "They aren't so big", I claim.

Side view of the Falls

Full view of the falls.

Then I reach the full frontal view.  Whoa.  These falls are massive!  The water rushes rapidly and loudly, before plummeting a long distance down the vertical cliff of rock.  No wonder why they call it the Niagara of the North.  How amazing to watch the water crash, then lazily drifts down the river to the other side.
