This second photograph shows mossbrae falls, Dunsmuir. This interesting fall is not in advertised in tourist maps of California but is known to many enthusiasts. To reach to the fall, one has to travel on the rail track for nearly 2 km. You have to be always to keep watch about the train and you are advised to keep your ears alert to train sound to leave the tracks although there is hardly any space on the side walks, with stream on one side and mountain slope on the other. We had to walk the whole distance on track of nearly 30 cm thick snow.
The fall has thick layer of moss (hence the name mossbrae) and luxuriant growth of Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) a tasty wild vegetable sold in stores of California. The plant grows luxuriantly in hill stations of India, but not exploited commercially as much as in California or Europe.
This photograph was also processed by my son Manpreet Singh.
