BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, Texas — Waterfalls are stunning, but what about when they form where you don't expect?
Then they're all the more view-worthy, as a video captured in April in Texas shows.
According to a park ranger at Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas, the waterfall formed after a "hundred-year downpour."
The video captured the waterfall on the wall of Santa Elena Canyon, according to its description.
Turn the sound on, and you'll hear far from a mere stream: There's a lot of water falling off the wall with some serious force.
Such a sight might be rare, but for Utah readers, it's not impossible to witness something similar to what transpired in the Lone Star State.
Southern Utah's red cliffs, in particular, can be the backdrop to waterfalls when the region gets a somewhat rare big storm.
Attending Utah Tech University, I saw a waterfall quite like this one in Snow Canyon near Ivins around 2013. It was a sight to behold; I didn't know whether to gaze or drive far, far away for my own safety. I wish I'd caught it on camera, but I didn't, so seeing this YouTube clip filled in some of the missing details from my own experience.
Whether red rocks or black Texan cliffs, the nature around us enduring harsh weather can somehow be beautiful.
