I saw a description of this falls that nearly discouraged me from going here. Glad I did not listen.

This is a very high waterfall that, even in low water, is spectacular.

At the upper falls, use the trail and don't take a short cut down the Butt Slide like we did, an you will have no trouble down and back. It is quiet strenuous though.

No T Shirt2410 viewsBeen there,done that, no "T" Shirt.

One of every "Airdale's" dreaded duties, if you flew out of Elizabeth City, NC was to fly Ice Patrol from Argentia, Newfoundland. About the equivelent of a thirty day sentence in a freezer.

We actually located and plotted Ice Bergs and forecast their course.
