 Bottom Of Bowl2038 viewsThe bottom of South Harpers Creek Falls takes on the appearance of a giant stone bowl with one side torn out by nature.

Due to the steep descent to this area I rated it a *** (3) in difficulty. Not a place to go in wet weather.

 Top falls at South Harpers Creek2006 viewsDue to brilliant Sun these photos were difficult, even using filters.

I plan a return trip with better skies.
