Landscape Language
Ribbon (adj) – a type of waterfall with a very narrow stream
Ribbon waterfalls are often temporary or ephemeral waterfalls, like this unnamed waterfall flowing off Mount Wow along Westside Road. The best time to view ribbon waterfalls is during the spring when snow melt creates numerous ephemeral waterfalls around the park. Ribbon waterfalls can also form in the fall during times of heavy rainfall. Have you seen ribbon falls in the park?
