Waterfalls develop when down cutting streams breach through a resistant bedrock layer into the softer material beneath. The height of the waterfall is dependent upon the thickness of the resistant bedrock layer through which of the stream erodes.
 
Waterfalls can change. Energy from the plummeting water creates a plunge pool at the base of the waterfalls, eroding a cavity in the softer underlying rock this process undermines the resistant layer, causing it to break apart, piece by piece, along the cracks and fissures. Through this process, waterfalls gradually migrate upstream. Over the course of thousands of years, this movement can be a few feet to hundreds of feet.
 
There are different types of waterfalls. Water plummets over ledges of basalt in eight identified forms. Cascade, horsetail, blocked, tiered, fan, punch bowl, plunge, segmented.
 
Waterfall environment tips:
*Stay on the trail to protect fragile vegetation. *Pack it in, pack it out- Leave nothing behind.
*Be sure your matches/cigarettes are completely put out a bear rock or in mineral soil and
  dispose of property.  *Wash with biodegradable soap, away from open water.
