From the Ozone To The Abyss1680 viewsTop of Ozone Falls looking down.

What this place needs is a good safety officer.
Actually, one can do this quiet safely by mounting a camera on a light weight tripod or monopod, delay the shot, focus and press the shutter button. Hold the camera out over the edge until it clicks.
WEST OREBANK FALLS SUF003_1200x900.jpg
Orebank Falls West1765 viewsThe reason for the West falls is that a culvert separates East and West parts of the falls.

These falls border on an oldalbatross award for trash

Clear Mountain Stream1766 viewsNothing like a clear mountain stream in early Fall, wish this was the case for Joe Mill Fall Upper.

To the photographers left is old tires, household trash and bed springs that made easy entry to the creek difficult.

Makes me think back to Iron Eyes Cody.

Dry2445 viewsDon't drive to Big South Fork to photograph this falls unless there has been significant rainfall.

I would classify this as a wet weather falls.

That said, Needle Arch is just down the trail, less than half mile.

Squibb Creek Upper Falls **2331 viewsThis seems to be the upper most falls on Squibb Creek but, that could be a geriatrics view.

Lets one practice creek crossing, if you like that sort of thing.

Top Of Squibb Creek Falls lower falls **2363 viewsLou and I took the hike up Squibb Creek after a night of heavy rain. If your thing is creek crossing this is for you.

The round trip is about five miles and with the water level high and a trail not much different than the creek, a grand time was had by all.

We found getting to the bottom of the falls, with the high water, was a little risky hence the top photos.

I recommend this trip just for the fantastic cascades below the Falls.

Dick's Creek Falls (lower) **2352 viewsThis Falls is one of the prettier small waterfalls in the area of Limestone Cove.

I only rate it as ** because of the two mile hike, one way, and the mud holes from vehicles.
