9. RAINBOW FALLS: Position your camera to capture the iconic Rainbow Falls, a 50-foot cascade where sunlight often creates a vibrant spectrum of colors in the mist. Highlight the graceful arc of the falling water and the series of smooth, rounded plunge pools at its base, showcasing the erosive power of the creek over time.
Photography Tips: Time your visit for sunny afternoons to maximize the chance of capturing a rainbow. Use a tripod and slightly slower shutter speeds to blur the water's motion while retaining some texture. Look for reflections in plunge pools.

Walk Difficulty: Moderate, accessible from both the Gorge and Rim Trails.
