BRIDAL_VEIL_A_1208x800.jpg
Top Of THe Veil2396 viewsBridal Veil is located in DuPont Forest and is a very high falls and with normal waters spreads over a large cascade. The top of the falls, shown here, is where the movie Hunger Games was made.

Only gave it a * rating but, that is to the bottom and expect a 4 plus hike on a good road.

Lower Bubbling Springs Falls2316 viewsNever get enough of seeing a falls new to me. As I get older the rocks get further apart and even more slick.

If I get much older I will not be able to see the next rock.

Touch up2514 viewsThis is a color touch-up of Mineral Creek . The ambient light made the whole thing too green.
Laurel Fork Falls, NC (2).jpg
Laurel Creek Falls *2683 viewsLocals refer to this falls as Trash Can Falls, not because of it being trashy but, at one time there was a public dumpster nearby.

With that said, the day I was there was following a downpour of rain so the creek was muddy.

Lower Panthertown Creek Falls2418 viewsThe hike to the lower falls is pretty easy until the turn off below The Great Wall, then there is nothing that can be called a trail, just a few faded ribbons and a few clips.

This 0.2 mile bushwhack through a recent controlled burn I would rate difficult for those not accustomed to Bushwhacking.
