Little Stony Upper-11748 viewsIf you are new to Waterfallin and live within SW Virginia driving distance, this is where you need to go.

I plan a return to visit just this falls, it's that good.
I plan to take my NOTEPAD computer with me to look at my camera results on site.
It's an outdoor photographers learning lab.

Little Stony Middle-11748 viewsThe middle falls at Little Stony is not as photogenic as the upper and lower but, by itself, would be worthy of the hike.

Garrett Creek Falls 1746 viewsGarrett Creek Falls is a no-hiker, right beside the road falls.

If you decide to photograph from the bottom be careful of glass and debris going down.

It is multi tiered so kind of hard to get an exact height but, is a pretty high water slide type falls.

Biggest In The East1746 viewsI think even the Outer Banks of North Carolina claims to have the highest waterfalls East of the Mississippi but, take this one serious. Yeah, when you stretch it out a lot is horizontal I suppose but, this has white water from 1200 feet up.

Brush1740 viewsI will try for something better in the Fall after the leaves but, this falls is about 10 ft. high.

Could not get a clean shot to measure with the laser.
