Lower Joe Mills-11608 viewsPark after fording the creek and proceed thru a nicely maintained approach to the falls.

A very clean place, let's keep it that way and maybe the owner wil lhave us back.

Nose Shadow1649 viewsLooks like an animal emerging from the water with it's nose casting a shadow.

Kind of like cloud art? You don't see the nose shadow? Drop us a note and we will paint it red for you.

This is still not Burgess at it's best. Give it some more rain and it will be a tru beast.

Swimming Hole1633 viewsSince there is a dirty, rough "camp" nearby I assume this is a swimming hole. A pretty place that most people don't see.

Dry2376 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 **2207 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 **2270 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) **2232 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.
