This is as easy as it gets to see a waterfall.

Cabin creek Falls2395 viewsCabin Creek Falls is another SW Virginia falls located right beside the road.

What makes it different is the size of the "step" rocks located in the near field, abut eight feet high, forming the steps all the way up the falls.

Bottom Of Bowl2395 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.
