There are waterfalls that are beautiful in photographs, and then there are waterfalls that make you stop for a minute when you finally see them in person. Ganoga Falls is one of those places. Surrounded by layers of green and tucked into the forest, the water seems to find a hundred different paths down the rock before reaching the bottom.

Wyandot Falls is all about the movement of the water and the way a waterfall can turn an ordinary stretch of woods into somewhere you want to stand and watch for a while. It’s a little piece of that feeling, frozen without losing the motion.

Some waterfalls make you stop because they’re huge. Others make you stop because everything around them just feels right. Dry Run Falls was the latter for me,a quiet stretch of Pennsylvania forest, moving water, and the kind of view that makes it easy to forget what time it is.
