  At the Moon-land Falls, the Gaelos begins its flow, coming from the hills of the Emyn Arnen.
• 
  Passing through a serene pond, the Gaelos turns west-wards, into a large ravine.
• 
  The ruins of Bâr Húrin tower above. Here, the Rangers of Ithilien keep a hidden watch.
• 
  Streaming into the steep ravine, the Gaelos accelerates its flow.
• 
  Crashing down a waterfall, the Gaelos moves through the crevasse south of Bâr Húrin.
• 
  Mossy overgrown walls can be seen on either side of the ravine as the Gaelos continues to the west.
• 
  Another waterfall takes the waters of the Gaelos further westwards.
• 
  The Gaelos approaches the Ithiliant bridge, where yet another waterfall awaits.
• 
  Deep beneath the bridge's mighty pillars, the Gaelos plunges towards the Anduin.
• 
  Finally, the waters of the Gaelos merge with the mighty Great River across the Pelennor Fields.
• 
  Looking back towards the Ithiliant from the Anduin, the final waterfall of the Gaelos shimmers in the sunlight.
