Zion Waterfalls
Zion National Park, Utah. On a hike to the Lower Emerald Falls, the trail went behind a wispy waterfall — one of Zion's unexpected pleasures.
Zion is famous for its massive sandstone cliffs, but water is the force that shaped them. This waterfall creates a curtain that hikers can walk behind, an unusual perspective on falling water and the rock face it descends.
I photographed from behind, letting the water curtain frame the view of the canyon beyond. The perspective is unusual — most waterfall photos show the front, emphasizing power and flow. From behind, the water becomes a veil rather than a force.
The trail to the Emerald Pools is one of Zion's most accessible, drawing visitors who can't tackle more strenuous routes. This waterfall rewards everyone, regardless of hiking ability.
