Still processing some of them but this one is my favorite so far.

is that the one on Stevens Canyon road, right there in the corner next to the road just before you head up to Lake Louise and Sunbeam Falls? i like the comp, but it looks like there's some gray in the highlights, especially on the upper right side of the falls...like maybe a bit too much burning there, or perhaps some selective level adjustments that went a bit too far?

Heres another fall, it was on the north east side of the mountain. Nearly missed it, its right off the road on the left hand side through a little gap in the trees.

Ya that sounds about right. Its in a left hand curve after a stone bridge.

that's the one. it's never been officially named, but it's a very picturesque little cascade. looks like the snow's mostly gone up there, at least at that elevation... did you go as far as Paradise? How's the snow at Reflection Lakes?
 
With all the late snowpack this is definitely a good year for getting waterfalls. Tough someitmes to capture the detail in the highlihgts though unless it's before/after daylight.

Later on it should be a short colorful burst of flowers up on the mountain, but don't think they will last long.
 
We did go up to paradise, it was packed with people! Reflection lake is still snowed over unfortunately. :( It was an awesome drive though.
 
According to the Northwest Waterfall Survey, the proposed name for this fall is "Picture Frame Falls"

That's a very nice shot, much better than any shots I've managed to get. The only decent shot I can find of this one was taken on a cold and wet day, and there was still snow on the ground. It's a drab day in my shot, and the light is flat.

Usually this falls doesn't even have enough water to bother with. I've driven past it several times in the summer, and even shot the falls right next to it, but never bothered with this one, apparently due to it not being photogenic, probably due to low flow.
