Potato Slot Falls
Potato Falls in the North Fork Potato
Canyon is a 30’ high waterfall with 2 tiers.
Corey Norman is rappelling the upper 10’ tier
on the left and the lower 20’ tier on the right.
The bedrock here looks to be a brittle
vertical cleaving slate... extra beautiful.
Notice the cascading water-flow... this is just downstream from the high
waterfall.
