Believe it or not, this video of Tumalo Falls was filmed in the summer. Summer in the Northwest is a bit different than in other places; it takes a while to get started and it still rains…occasionally. The misty weather though is what lets us share a sight like this – a powerful waterfall surrounded by lush trees, ferns, grasses and a maybe a wildflower or two.
To get the shot, Mark Knight trekked through the difficult and slippery terrain, camera equipment and all. Then there’s always the challenge while filming waterfalls – water vapor in the air getting all the equipment wet.
Tumalo Falls is located in the Deschutes National Forest and Tumalo State Park located in Bend, Oregon. A beautiful area to visit. You can hike to the falls, float the Deschutes river, fish or camp in a tent, yurt, cabin or tepee.
More footage of Tumalo Falls can be seen by Comcast subscribers in Washington state. Go to On Demand, Channel 100 (or channel 1), and in the “Get Local” folder select Expedition.
