Cascade2927 viewsThis cascade is just below Hickey Falls. Extended exposure just a little to get the misty effect.
Friends2900 viewsWe met these niece folks at Schoolhouse. Not the little stoners in front of us.
Another side2856 viewsIf you venture up on the "Big" rock you get this view of the falls emptying into this "trench" and running off the right side and under the big rock.
Laurel Creek Falls *2767 viewsLocals refer to this falls as Trash Can Falls, not because of it being trashy but, at one time there was a public dumpster nearby.
With that said, the day I was there was following a downpour of rain so the creek was muddy.
A creek of cascades2747 viewsThe creek is really one big flat rock after another.
Upper Plunge2738 viewsTop portion of Whitewater Falls
Reflections2730 viewsI measured fall to be about 38 ft. Despite sunshine, we got a passing cloud to take this reflection. Note the tunnels and potholes on the top left.
The Lower Falls2698 viewsThe lower Falls is about 20 ft or so but quiet pretty.
Upper Falls2684 viewsIf you passed the Rock Serpent and down an 8 ft drop to the creek this will be your reward. This upper falls we did not know about.
