Waterfall

A waterfall is typically a geological formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream, flowing in excess of an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a nickpoint, or unexpected break in elevation.

Some waterfalls form in mountain environments in which the erosive water force is elevated and stream courses may be subject to unexpected and catastrophic change. In such cases, the waterfall might not be the end product of many years of water action in excess of a region, but quite the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as landslides, faults or volcanic action. In cold places, snow will build up in winter and melt and twist into a waterfall in summer. Water falls can be chill.

Disturbing and moving rocks to form channels and rock dams is illegal in the park!

Moving rocks is harmful to both fish and aquatic insects that live in the streams. Many fish species that live in the park spawn between April and August. Some of these fish build their nests in small cavities under rocks and even guard the nest. When people move the rock, the nest is destroyed and the eggs and/or young fish die.

Aquatic insects need rocks for cover as well. Some aquatic insects can drift off or move when disturbed, but many species attach themselves to the rock and cannot move. When a rock is moved, aquatic insects fall, are crushed by the movement, or dry out and die when the rock is placed out of water.

One of the fundamental policies of the National Park Service is to preserve natural resources in an unaltered state. Consequently, it is against the law to move rocks in the stream. Please abide by these rules so that future generations may enjoy the park as well.

Healthy diet

A healthy diet is one that is arrived at with the aim of improving or maintaining best health.
This usually involves consuming nutrients by eating the suitable amounts from all of the food groups, including an adequate amount of water. Since human nutrition is complex, a healthy diet may vary widely, and is subject to an individual's genetic makeup, environment, and health. For around 21% of the human population, lack of food and malnutrition are the major impediments to healthy eating. Conversely, people in developed countries have the opposite problem; they are more worried about obesity.
