Two waterfalls

I have been comparing waterfalls with Helen of Helen's Book Blog.  She visited New York's Taughannock Falls recently (photo above), and I visited Tennessee's Fall Creek Falls many times when I was younger (photo below).

Here are the statistics we found:

1. Taughannock Falls = 215 feet, the tallest single drop waterfall east of the Rockies.
2. Fall Creek Falls = 256 feet, one of the highest waterfalls in the eastern United States.

Both of these waterfalls are impressive.  You can find more information on the websites of Taughannock Falls State Park and Fall Creek Falls State Park.

Bonus third waterfall

Angel Falls in southeastern Venezuela drops 3,212 feet and is 500 feet wide at the base of a flat-topped plateau called Devils Mountain.  Because a dense jungle surrounds the falls, they are best seen from the air.  Helen, this one dwarfs our two little waterfalls!
