Travertine waterfall #3
2 years ago

Waterwheel Creek, dropping down from Montebello Ridge, just before entering Stevens Creek. This is ground water emerging from the limestone bedrock, leaving calcium carbonate minerals behind. This is known as a speleothem, but formed above ground and this is with cold water. If this were in a cave, it might be called a "Flow Stone" or "Stalactite". This isn't the only Speleothem in Stevens Creek Canyon either.
We've had some rain in the last week or so, still nothing showing in the above ground stream bed. Lots of ground water in the lower part of the canyon, this is about the 4th cascade up from the bottom.
Stay tuned for a longer video at this location...
