Tamolitch Pool is where the McKenzie River restarts. At one time the spot where I stood taking this picture would have been right in the middle of a waterfall. I've occasionally wished that someone would turn off the water at a particular fall so that I could see the underlying rock, but I always assumed that they would turn it right back on again. Perhaps since I can't, I've always wished that I could see Tamolitch Falls. I wonder if I would like it as much as the pool. I'm sure that it must have been beautiful, but that vivid blue pool is quite a sight in its own right.

I spend the remainder of the day limping along the Waterfalls Loop trail. I've been to the section between Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls several times, but this was the first opportunity I had to continue on the loop. It was worth seeing, but I don't know that I will hike it a second time. I do often return to places, but there are other locations that are higher up on my list. You know you're spoiled when you can say such a thing.
