Here's a link to more photos of some of the new waterfalls I found last week. Look in the Cranal Creek album.

I went out there on Monday and found the top side of the Natural Bridge falls. I have added those photos to the link now.
The top side of Natural Bridge falls start on page 4 of the Cranal Creek album.

"It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it while you can, while it is still there. So go out there and hunt and fish and mess around. Ramble out yonder, explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air. Sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. I promise you this one sweet victory, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by calculators. : you will outlive the bastards." Ed Abbey

My Bride and i went to cranal falls today, I would highly recommend everyone go see it! The area is full of hardwoods, very few pines, been a while since this was logged. I have never seen so many still sights in one area. Here is a link to my blurry pictures

You're very welcome. I'm glad you got to visit the area. Good pictures, thanks for posting the link.
Did you see the old steel cable in the logging road downstream? I'll bet it's 100 feet long or longer, stretched out in the old roadbed, left by loggers in the late 30's or early 40's when the area was logged.

I wish I could have gotten out there today but I had to shoot real estate in B-ham today.

I've seen one at a location south of Hurricane Creek on top of a 100'+ bluff.
Also, I finally got around to uploading my Hurricane Creek photos. Great place to visit after a rain, but be prepared for several creek crossings and the hike can be strenuous.
