Soil Erosion on the Mountain Slopes Near Waterfalls
Waterfalls often occur in steep ravines that are covered in a thin soil layer. Probably the most damaging thing you can do at a waterfall is to climb on the banks and dislodge the soil. Try to stay on the main paths. Nature photographers particularly should think about this, since they often climb around to find the best vantage point. After taking a picture of the waterfall and packing up your gear, take a glance back at your shooting spot. Does it look like you’ve been there?
