Tower Falls starts with the river; it's a fast-flowing, deep river, and is very cold. Now when you see the river turn a corner around the ragged, clay peaks, you know you're close to the falls. The river quickly cascades down a steep drop, stretching on and on until it disapears behind a wall of pines. No matter; you will surely hear it hit the bottom.

This canyon likely isn't the steep drop that you're used to. Instead, the canyon recedes slowly to the bottom, where a gushing river lies. The trip down will still be dangerously steep though, particularly as the sides of the canyon are often overlayed with ragged rock. But soft, almost sandy soil supports some of the canyon. Now surprisingly, quite a few trees have found root among the rocks, most of them being scraggly evergreens. It's funny that they can survive here, even when the gravely, loose soil frequently gives way.

Slough Creek is about 25 miles of lazy stream-water. This creek is a big hit with the wolves, and it should be. The water is calm, the only ripples made by the wind. The bank rarely gets muddy, because it is inhabited by various grasses and the roots of trees. Some fallen logs are nestled against the creekside, but for the mostpart the water is clear. Temperatures in the water grow warmer than usual, as the water is spread out, slow, and revealed to the sun.

Warning: that has been named literally! Yep, this is Pebble Creek. The bottom is pebbles, the bank is pebbles, everything! Only, these "pebbles" rang greatly in size. There are ones the size of a frog, ones the size of a turtle, all the way up to a few enormous boulders. Now the water itself is also varied, with some parts flowing into fast rapids and others slowing into calm waters. Just be aware that the rocks on the bottom are perfectly smooth, thus also slippery. Get to deep, or in the wrong place, and this creek is capable of causing injury and death.
