Tarn just south of Chinook Pass, Pacific Crest Trail, Washington, 2002.
A popular sight as it is a short distance from the parking area at Chinook Pass and on the delightful, if often crowded, short hike around Naches Peak on the loop trail.

This was another hiking adventure in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, USA... Stumbled across this waterfall, and I was instantly overcome by the beauty of this place! If you've never been, consider it. There's something magical about these mountains!
