I plan a return trip with better skies.

Lower Little Lost Cove Falls2136 viewsN 36.02166 W 081.82910

I saw a description of this falls that nearly discouraged me from going here. Glad I did not listen.

This is a very high waterfall that, even in low water, is spectacular.

At the upper falls, use the trail and don't take a short cut down the Butt Slide like we did, an you will have no trouble down and back. It is quiet strenuous though.

Roaming Knob Visits Crabtree2128 viewsI am NOT stalking the Roaming Knob. Purely coincidence he shows up in lots of places I just happened to be.

Here he is at Crabtree Falls, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Lower Bubbling Springs Falls2125 viewsNever get enough of seeing a falls new to me. As I get older the rocks get further apart and even more slick.

If I get much older I will not be able to see the next rock.

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