One more waterfall!
Actually two more, but with the same name. Upper Desoto Falls (on the left) and lower DeSoto Falls (on the right)..
They are named after Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto.
The legend says that a piece of Armor that belonged to De Soto or one of his men was found here. De Soto was a conquistador that explored the southern USA around 1540 in case you are wondering. After Cortez success with the Aztec in Mexico, he hoped to find gold here as well. He didn't, but he found the falls!
