Colin: Waterfall Fanatic (& Architecture Student)

My Most Recent Pages/Trips

Sunset Beach on the North Shore
I just got back from Honolulu and I had a blast; it was a bunch of fun and I really want to go back. During my trip I stayed away from all of the touristy stuff and tried to see as much of the natural scenery as possible. I think I was successful. I saw 7 waterfalls, 3 lighthouses, several cool buildings, and plenty of other excellent scenery.
Check out my pages for these waterfalls: Maunawili Falls, and Several near Honolulu.
These pages for Lighthouses: Diamond Head Lighthouse, Barbers Point Lighthouse, and Makapu'u Point.
I also got to see the Byodo-in Temple, and excellent scenery in La’ie and Hawai’I Kai as well as Waimea on the North Shore.
Wahclella Falls
The Columbia River Gorge area is spectacular. I went on a 4 day marathon of waterfalls. I followed the Columbia River from central Oregon/Washington near the Tygh Valley Area From there i went to the town of Mosier, the Hood River Area, Starvation Creek, Wyeth, Bonneville, John B Yeon State Park and the Multnomah Falls Area then backtracked a bit and went North into Washington to see several more waterfalls south of Mount St Hellens. In all I hiked over 40 miles (64 km) and saw 38 new waterfalls.
Lighthouses are two for the price of ONE! OK not really but they were both free to visit so i guess the price was free on the second one so i'm sticking too it. Washington has a handfull of great lighthouses. Most are on the Pacific Coast and in the Islands North of Seattle, but their area a few in the Puget Sound area as well. Such as: Admiralty Head, Alkai Point, Browns Point, Dofflemyer Point, Marrowstone, Mukilteo, Point No Point, Point Wilson, Point Robinson, Skunk Bay, and West Point. I had to add one more that isn't in the Sound. Dungeness Lighthouse
And some in Oregon too:
Cape Meares Lighthouse
Heceta Head lighthouse
Yaquina Head Lighthouse
Heceta Head Lighthouse
Crater Lake
Crater Lake National Park
Crater Lake is Oregon's only National park it is one of the most beautiful and interesting lakes in the world though so I guess that is ok
North Cascades National Park
One of the most diverse and complex geologic regions in the world. It also contains countless waterfalls and towering mountains as well as ample opportunities for camping and other recreational acitivities.
Liberty Bell Mountain
Zion National Park
Zion National Park
One of Utah's wonderful desert parks. Like a mini Grand Canyon but that is more lush and more easily acessable. Finally finished my Zion Pages. Yippie.
Yellowstone National Park
One of the most beautiful parks I've been to. Natural Geysers, Waterfalls and a "Grand Canyon" in the middle of the park. Also my most Ambitious page as of yet.
Old Faithful
Cool Group
