Reverse Waterfall Utah Drone
A first person view of a waterfall can be exhilarating, while this amazing footage of a reverse waterfall in Utah is just plain rare. This scene was captured by photographer RJ Hooper in Kayenta, which is located approximately 30 miles south of Monument Valley. A reverse waterfall typically occurs when water is blown upwards due to strong winds, giving it the appearance of flowing upwards.



Just how strong does the wind need to be to observe a reverse waterfall? A strong blowing wind at or above around 75 km/hr (46.6 mph) should be enough to cause this phenomena. Aside from the cliffs in Ivins, Utah in Kayenta, there have been several more sightings of reverse waterfalls, including Australia’s Royal National Park, India’s waterfall at Naneghat, Japan’s Shiretoko National Park, and Brazil’s Chapada Diamantina National Park.
