 Steel Creek Cascades2193 viewsUnable to reach the main falls due to water levell that prevented crossing creek. I will come back, prepared to cross the creek. Al alternate route, up the right side of the creek is not really an alternative unless you have a fondness for Laurel bushes, steep slopes, and leaf covered rock.

 Top Of THe Veil2189 viewsBridal Veil is located in DuPont Forest and is a very high falls and with normal waters spreads over a large cascade. The top of the falls, shown here, is where the movie Hunger Games was made.

Only gave it a * rating but, that is to the bottom and expect a 4 plus hike on a good road.

 Water Cave2188 viewsSteele Creek goes under this big rock, forming a foam whirlpool.

Views from this vantage point are the reason I give Steel reek Falls a *** rating. Note the rope on the rock. This is a very slick area so use the rope to hold on.

This little area can definitely clean your family gene pool.

 Snake lide2187 viewsAfter being flushed by RAT and Bol'dar, old Sneaky here, took an uncontrolled slide down to the bottom of Chestnut Falls, where I was, unfortunately, located.

After a short dance session both Oldalbatross and snake were fine.
