Answer 4

Yes, still water freezes at 32 degrees F.  The larger the water fall and the faster the river the colder it takes to freeze it.

Answer 13

Absolutely! The Colorado muntains are full of waterfalls that freeze in the winter. The frozen cascades are beautiful, and I understand some people really love the challenge of climbing them. By midsummer they are fully wet again, but as the cold weather becomes more and more frequent they become more and more solid.
