@@landrum3893 Well let me look into this! Do you know any of the names of these tidefalls? To qualify, they need to be year round and pour directly into the ocean.
@kixigvak I tried google. Even geography websites say there are only about 30 tidefalls in the world and none were in Alaska unless you consider channel or inlet drops where 2 may qualify, Nugget falls and Twin Falls. What you saw might be melting snow from the seaside coastal cliffs.
McWay and all of Big Sur is absolutely beautiful. I live near big sur and i have most of my life. I was born here when Ive ever left I always want to come back
Very beautiful! wish I could see that in person, that would be cool with hubby and our boys. Would be awesome on Wednesday, our 27th wedding anniversary! awesome
If you visit Anchorage and drive to Homer or Seward you can see several. So numerous they don’t have names. I was just there three weeks ago and can confirm.
@paulsherwood There are only 31 known perennial waterfalls that empty directly into an open ocean or sea (as opposed flowing into a river, stream, inlet, or fjord). There were none listed in Alaska unless you consider inlet drops like Twin Falls or Nugget falls.
@@dartfather the word you should have used is continuous. Perennial is indicative of something that is infinite or perpetually recurring. Alaska has many waterfalls that empty into the fjords, bays, etc. that appear yearly during the melts. How long they last is dependent on various factors. How often they recur is yearly.
@@barec2 It was not my word. It was copy pasted from a geography website. It make sense though because perennial means indinitely long time. Rivers may go away but for a long time it stays. In comparison, the hundreds of falls seen in alaska cliffs are just ice melting in spring but are gone in summers and most of them are not dropping directly into the ocean but in inlets or other rivers.
Incorrect. Theres a drainage pipe that is connected to a natural spring that goes under the road. We call it the hippie shower. This is also in bigsur.

I can think of about ten in Alaska
I'd love to see them!
True! I saw many tidefalls in Alaska on a cruise. Do you know what this means? There is a you tube video that isnt entirely true!!

I am in Big Sur right now camping and this is the first short that I find when coming directly from that waterfall. The fbi is onto me.
Spooky! lol

You hit the jackpot in terms of places to be born 😄
Miss the hikes at Point Lobos
I love Point Lobos!

That would be a great way to celebrate! :)
@@PeterOwenFilms yes 🥰
Correction, Alaska has hundreds of them.
Oh really? Can you name one or two of them?

Hmmm does that count? 😝
McWay Falls is not a natural fall. The creek was diverted by early pioneers, causing the water fall.
Oh wow didn’t know that
Alaska rejects your hyperbole, and replaces it with reality.
Can you name a tide fall in Alaska?
It's pronounced
"Point Rays". Not PT. "Raye's"
Hmmm I'm not sure my Spanish teacher would agree with that lol
@@PeterOwenFilms No, a Spanish teacher wouldn't, I agree. I was giving the Californian pronunciation.
@@ruthestrada8238it is weird coming from a hispanic username to mispronounce Reyes as Rays.
