12/25/2023 Flatside Wilderness

I visited Flatside Pinnacle Falls and Brown Creek Cascade, both on Brown Creek Rd west of Lake Sylvia Christmas morning. It was a chilly 45F and overcast.

The former has no well defined trail to it, despite what Google said, but the GPS in my phone worked so I was able to find it after a while. I had to cross a few streams a few times but my waterproof calf high boots were still both and I stayed dry. It will be easier next time. The waterfall might be better described as a cascade and reminded me of the waterfall at Lake Catherine.

On the way back, I stopped at the cascade which I had visited last winter. It was more straight forward with a trail right to it though I had to cross Brown Creek again to get to it.

Angie and I went to Mirror Lake, next to Blanchard Springs Caverns Saturday. I’ve been to the caverns a few times but never this adjacent lake with it’s spring and falls. Click each image for a larger view.

The falls are at the end of a not difficult, one step above easy, trail. There is also a boardwalk and handicapped parking but that view is not as good.

Cascades along the stream that feeds the lake.

I shot this same scene last winter during my first visit. I think it looks a little magical with spring greenery.

Shot with my Canon EOS 800D, auto-bracketing and focus stacking to produce three sets of three images that combined for rich color and better focus from foreground to background.
