Malad Gorge is one of five sections of Thousand Springs State Park, and the closest to Interstate 84. In fact, the freeway crosses right over the gorge near Hagerman, Idaho. The first time that I visited Malad Gorge was during a winter break from the school year, and there was a fresh coat of snow over the roads and valley. I enjoyed shooting the winter images but was eager to see the area in the summer as well. I visited again the following June on an early morning excursion. The parking area for Malad Gorge is on the east side of the canyon, and there is a trail that begins by crossing a bridge over the gorge and then meandering alongside the west rim. At a few spots along the edge, there are rock outcroppings that offer nice views of the canyon. As I hiked along the rim, the sun began to light the canyon walls and touch the surface of the water. This image is of the view to the north, underneath the freeway overpass, of what is called the Devil’s Washbowl. The Malad River just north of this point is just a surface river, but here flood waters have cut a 250-foot-deep canyon, and these falls drop about 60 feet into the pool below.
