USA Flume Gorge Avalanche Falls
The Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. The walls of Conway granite rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet and are 12 to 20 feet apart. The Flume Trail is a 2-mile loop starting at the check-in booths located in front of the Flume Building. The Short Trail/Rim Path is closed and the only option is to complete the full 2 mile loop. The entire loop takes approximately 1.5 hours and finishes at the Flume Building. The walk includes uphill walking and lots of stairs. The boardwalk allows you to look closely at the growth of flowers, ferns and mosses found here.
Photography Tips
Bring a Wide Angle Lens to capture the most of the falls as you can and the fall is the best time to visit. This particular shot was taken on a 24mm Lens.
Note that the Fall season is best for foliage images of the falls while the winter season has the falls frozen and is just as spectacular.
