About Fallspots

We sold our house in Asheville in spring 2023 and have been living in a 2018 Sprinter ever since with a single mission: visit every named waterfall in the United States.

We are Marina Vance and Theo Vance. Marina edited at Outside and High Country News. Theo is a structural engineer who reads watersheds the way other people read sheet music. We share a dog named Brook, who has been on every dog-friendly trail listed on this site.

Why we built this

We got tired of waterfall content that lies. The AllTrails page that says “easy” for a Class 3 scramble. The “hidden gem” post that's the third Google result. The Instagram waterfall that's a fenced-off industrial dam. Fallspots exists because we'd rather tell you not to bother than waste your weekend.
