Hiking - Part 11

Waterfall Showers

Sometimes a hiker comes upon a waterfall that's irresistible to get underneath and enjoy a natural shower.   I previously showed this guy in Hawaii.

I'm sure people have been showering under waterfalls since the first caveman, but the oldest photo I have of a waterfall shower is this 1907 photo from the Queensland, Australia State Library, labeled "A novel shower bath, Stoney Creek."  A naked man takes a shower while two clothed companions look on.

A soldier in Khe Sanh, Vietnam, enjoys a waterfall shower in 1970.

Whether the water is just dripping ...

Or a trickle ...

Or a nice spray ...

Or a torrent ...


What could be nicer and more natural?

I've had the pleasure. And it IS a pleasure.

I remember doing this very thing back in 1974, at a spot just north of the Colorado River along the North Kaibab Trail in the Grand Canyon.

Well, if it were heated, perhaps.

One thing that could be more natural is the pubic hair of two of those guys.
