What may not be readily apparent is the perspective, so a bit of clarification is in order. The center of the image is much further away than the two sides. What you're seeing is actually U-shaped. (See the hand-drawn map for reference.) The upper band of darker rock is basically vertical. Everything below that -- the green area and the rocks lower down -- are pretty steep but not vertical.

Some of the points shown on the hand-drawn map are shown here as well, using the same numbering system. As in the map, you can click on these points to see photos taken from, or of, these points. (Some of the photo links from here are different than those shown from the map.)

1. The Falls are off the picture some distance to the right.

2. View point 1 (upper right corner) is not shown but is off the top of the picture.

3. View point 2 is the Observation Platform. It's about 300 feet above the water.

4. View point 3 shows some people, very tiny and faintly visible.

5. View point 4 is way off the picture to the left.

6. Point 5, the outflow from power plant 1, is on the opposite side of the river (the side where this photo was taken from) and so not visible.

7. Point 6 is where the overflow pipe is. It's mid-summer and the river is low, so there's no water flowing out of it. But the rocky patches leading down from it and the lighter areas on the rock below show where the water flows when it's there.

8. Point 7 is where the largest of the several of the several cascades flowing from the pipe pours into the river.

9. Point 8, over on the right edge of the photo, shows the lower end of the channel where the mist from the falls billows up to the Observation Platform above. (There's no mist here because the falls don't have much water.)

10. Point 9 is Fisherman's Rock, which is here almost completely out of the water. Just to the left and above it you can see a small white dot, which is a person. There are actually quite a few people moving about on the rocks but they're too small to be visible in this photo (though you can see them in a larger version, which is available).

11. Point 10 indicates the source of the secondary falls that appear only when the river gets significantly higher than flood stage. They pour out of the wide notch just above the number "10" in the photo. When the water hits the slope below it flows straight down toward point 9 in the photo above, passing to the left of the large, brownish rock near the top of the lighter rock area. (See Cascades 12 photo.) When the temporary falls aren't present, this area gets only a trickle of water.
