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

Cabin creek Falls2382 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.

The hiking family2380 viewsThe longer I hike the more I realize the scope of the hiking family.

I am about forty miles from home and find a friend from church.

He showed us how to go up the right side of the falls, safely, and complete the trail loop. He is a through hiker of the AT.

Bottom Of Bowl2380 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.

Should have called this Lost Creek2377 viewsAfter leaving the Freewill Baptist Camp (really niece folks) the creek suddenly went into a spring??? After becoming acquainted with all the down pines on the mountain side we blundered into where the creek disappeared into the ground, yep, just soaked in the ground. This is not a trickle but, a pretty good creek and it went underground to the spring. footnote: Only springs I saw in the Coast Guard ere made of metal.
