Where in the World Is Orchy?

Orchy on Holiday

On one of Orchy’s cross-country trips, he took several photographs, including this one, along the “waterfall corridor” on one of the nation’s historic river highways. The U.S. Forest Service has designated the gorge that holds the falls as a botanical area because of its unique aquatic and woodland plants. For some, this is the only place in the world you can find them.

The gorge was first photographed by Carleton Emmons Watkins, who had traveled west in 1851 during the California Gold Rush. The gorge and one of the waterfalls are named after his hometown.

Last Quarter Recap:

Where was Orchy?

Orchy was visiting the National Christmas Tree along the Pathway of Peace in President’s Park in Washington D.C. An American tradition for more than a century, the National Christmas Tree is decorated with thousands of lights and unique decorations. Each year, one-of-a-kind ornaments are made by Americans representing every U.S. state, territory, and the District of Columbia. Learn more about the tree and see some of the ornaments created for the annual “America Celebrates” display.
