Dry2581 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Dry Weather2578 viewsNiece hike up a good trail and stairs...lots of stairs. Were it not for the stairs this would be easy.

Laurel Fork Falls2573 viewsThis is one of the most visited falls in the area due to it's being located on the Appalachian Trail.

To reach the falls and get a good hike, venture up Dennis Cove Road and park at the well marked Appalachian Trail crossing.

There are at least two more falls on the way if you are a little more experienced.

If you want a little more difficult hike, park at the crossing in Hampton, TN.

Frenchie2569 viewsWent to Normandy to pay my respect to those young men who will never grow old.

Along the river I found the only waterfall I saw on the Seine River Cruise. Unfortunately, it was small and at night.

Yeah, I know the same nation that gave us (US) the Statue Of Liberty has better waterfalls, I just did not go near one.
