Buttermilk Falls-Polk County Wisconsin

I have seen this waterfall on YouTube posted by David Hedquist and felt it would be quite a nice one to capture. It took a little bit of research but I located it and I was not disappointed. It was a crisp Sunday morning with frost still hanging on the tall grass as I hiked along the treeline. 

The trail took a quick right into the woods along a ravine to my left, I could hear the falls through the trees. The path got narrower as I approach the waterfall with the still present ravine on my left and a 15 foot drop to the creek on my right. You see the top of the waterfall first as it cascades down the rock slide. the ground was still frozen so the climb down got real scary for a short time, so I sat down and figured a way out of a potential slide to the bottom. I think I will return next year during the summer and catch it in a greener season.
