Glossary -- Landforms: Pour-Overs vs. Waterfalls |
![pour-over](PourOver/p-po/IMG_36667a.jpg) |
Pour-over. Also called a "dry fall" or "pour-off," a usually dry waterfall. A place in a wash or canyon where water, if it were flowing, would "pour over" a ledge to form a waterfall. Note that pour-overs always look higher and harder to climb from above, so consider the situation carefully before climbing up. |
