Can't wait to get started!1598 viewsAt the bottom of the falls.

I have been looking forward to doing this. I walk 1.7 miles for a warm up and 1200 feet is only four football fields long.

This series of waterfalls is like a cascade on a very large scale.

Tiny Creek1536 viewsIt's hard to believe this little creek furnishes all the water one sees on the trail. Must be some springs along the way.

Biggest In The East1535 viewsI think even the Outer Banks of North Carolina claims to have the highest waterfalls East of the Mississippi but, take this one serious. Yeah, when you stretch it out a lot is horizontal I suppose but, this has white water from 1200 feet up.
