Elsmere Canyon Waterfalls

50-foot waterfall - The highest and most spectacular waterfall in Elsmere Canyon (2/5/2005). The Foothill fire of July 2004 burned much of the brush in the canyon including around this waterfall.

The brown Towsley formation beds lay on top of the basal metamorphic/igneous rocks here (2/5/2005)

I took this photo from high up the eastern face overlooking the waterfall. Like the previous photo, the Towsley formation beds clearly lay on top of the basal metamorphic/igneous rocks. It would be impossible to get a photo like this today. (2/5/2005)
