Album Info:

One of the trailhead signs showing all the named waterfalls along the trail. The various types of waterfalls in Rickett's Glen are 1) Falls - water plunging from a ledge or precipice that is vertical or undercut; 2) Cascade - A vertical to nearly vertical terraced face down which water tumbles, and that is too steep to climb without special gear - sometimes referred to as a wedding cake type of falls; 3)Slide - a near-vertical to less-than-vertical smooth or nearly smooth surface that is wider than the stream going over it and is too steep to climb without special gear - sometimes referred to as a bridal veil type of falls; 4) Chute - A narrow slide or cataract feature that confines the stream flow and is too steep to climb without special gear. Falls definitions from PA Waterfalls by Scott E. Brown.
