Lemmon Falls is located at the Ritter Island portion of Thousand Springs State Park. This section near Hagerman includes a historic dairy farm operated by Minnie Miller in the early 1900s. Most views of the falls are from directly in front, which is nice as well, but I loved this view from the road down into the park. I drove down very early that morning in June 2026 and took a few images of the falls at blue hour. Then when I noticed some sunrise color in the sky, I hiked up the hill partway to the roadway, and got this image of the falls, the “split rock” formation in the distance, and the hills on the west side of the river in the background with the lavender sunrise sky. A few years ago, I took a wintertime photo from a similar viewpoint, when all the brush was brown, red, and orange, and the hues were rich because of rainy weather. This morning the brush was wet because of the winds blowing the mists from the falls, and the colors were saturated and beautiful. I carried a cloth with me to wipe off the mists from the lens between every shot. The conditions were damp and breezy, and rather cold, but the photo indicates none of that. Only the rich magnificent colors of the landscape figure in this image.
