The Heart of the Forest Falls
Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington
Golden light kisses the cliffs above as a towering waterfall plunges into a lush emerald amphitheater below. Cascading over mossy boulders and delicate foliage, the water spreads into countless rivulets, weaving a tapestry of movement through the rainforest floor. In this hidden sanctuary, every drop pulses with the vitality of the Pacific Northwest wilderness. Photo © copyright by Joseph Rossbach.
