 Not in session1670 viewsSince I was the only hiker present, court apparently was not in session at Courthouse Falls.

 Twofer1692 viewsHere is an odd waterfall. Two creeks merging at nearly opposites directions, plunging over rock walls into a common creek below.

Hard to explain but, you can drive right up to these falls and see for yourself.Apr 03, 2013

 Monster In The Mist2216 viewsWhitewater Falls NC just after heavy rains. The fog cleared like magic for about ten minutes allowing an old friend to get his first peak at the 400 ft. monster.

Just downstream is a duplicate but, a little harder to hike to.Jan 18, 2013

 Better Than Expected2215 viewsI expected to see a 60 ft falls but, measure this beauty at more than 100 ft.

Lasers don't really like the brush seen at the top of the falls here but, I got consistent marks at over 100 ft and a solid mark at 91 ft.Dec 14, 2012

 Need Rain2304 viewsI'll definitely return to this falls after wet weather. The Sun shines directly on the falls in the PM so, I'll also bring along my better camera for a smaller aperture.Dec 14, 2012
