decided since i'd never been there, to visit Lower Lewis River Falls today. of course, when i arrived, the falls was in bright sunlight... figures. 
but i made the best of it, and managed a couple of decent shots. not as nice as they'd have been with more even light, but under the circumstances, i thought they came out rather well. what most people don't tell you when they show those shots taken from the edge of the river, is that there's only a very steep trail that ends in about a 6-foot, moss-covered, wet rock that you have to climb/slide/fall down to get to the river, and then you're IN the river! to get from there to where you can set up a tripod requires wading about 50 yards upstream... and that water is COLD! but the cold wasn't as bad as the slick, treacherous footing... 
but i made it safely, managed to avoid getting anything wet that shouldn't be, and even got a few shots from down there... 
i think next time i go, i'll do it on a cloudy day, and wait till later in the year - the falls will look more "graceful" at low flow in about September.
