Water Wheel Creek: Lower Water Falls

Checking out a series of small waterfalls on Water Wheel Creek just before it enters Stevens Creek. This creek originates high on Montebello Ridge from at least one seep or spring according to the USGS hydrography dataset.

Normally, a Speleothem is in a cave (a.k.a. a Karst), but this Speleothem is flowing over a Karst. There's a large Speleothem along the paved portion of Stevens Canyon Road.

The camera I used didn't like the high volume of the water falls down in this narrow canyon. The audio seems to be distorted at times. I think that camera only has fixed audio level settings (low, medium and high) vs. having auto volume and it also lacks any display of the audio levels. Will have to keep that in mind if I run into situations like this again. It's difficult filming out in these locations since it's usually a single take and there's no way to preview the finished video until returning back home, hours later.
