In Oregon people walk behind it. In Utah visitors swim below it. Folks in West Virginia follow a driving trail that leads to 29 of more than 200 that are scattered about the state. The goal of these nature lovers is waterfalls, and their pursuit even has a name. “Waterfalling” is a fast-growing activity among those who like to get off the beaten path near where they live, throughout the United States, and around the world.
Some people use waterfalls as destinations when planning a trip, seeking to exchange city crowds or rural expanses for the calming influences of flowing water and a woodland setting. Waterfall-chasers soon learn that no two cascades are alike, and they enjoy and appreciate the exercise they get reaching them.
