Nice, love the rich tones. For me, and just a suggestion, I think a tighter crop removing about the bottom 1/4-1/3 would help draw one into the image. I get hung up on the bottom rapids.
Aside, where? Long hike necessary? Long for a guy in his 80's

No crop necessary, here is another shot I took closer in.
I like both images. When comparing the two, it might help image 1 if the water flow was lighter as appears in image 2. I think this would help move the eye from the foreground to the background with the larger falls.
I really like the first image, however my eye is being pulled lower-left due to the highlights there. Significantly reducing these would, in my opinion, improve the image and perhaps provide an alternative to Bob's crop suggestion.
Regardless, it's wonderful capture.

Bob, you're in your 80s You don't look a day over 79. 😉

The 1st one could be cropped to the "rock line" in the forground. I believe that cropping it there would make the composition very solid. It would provide the viewer an entry point "into" the falls, provide depth, scale and plenty of emotion in the action of the falls and water.
Both are well done and I only have suggestions.
