Rushing Waterfall (Movement)

This picture of a small waterfall was taken on the Stone Valley hiking trail in Colton, New York during a snowshoe hike for a lab field trip. This waterfall emphasized the powerful speed that water flows at during the winter months. The sound of rushing water was one of the only prevalent sounds during this hike, which is a major reason why this picture drew my attention. The nearby environment is mostly comprised of hardwood trees resembling maples, ash, and dogwoods and the elevation was primarily decreasing in elevation.It was one of the only waterfalls we came across that day and was a highlight of the hike.
