Guest River Falls1566 viewsI think the name of the falls is Guest River Falls but, I thik I will always know it as Doug's Falls since his bench (has his plaque on it) offers a good place to just sit, relax and enjoy the falls.Sep 20, 2011

Cabin creek Falls2004 viewsCabin Creek Falls is another SW Virginia falls located right beside the road.

What makes it different is the size of the "step" rocks located in the near field, abut eight feet high, forming the steps all the way up the falls.

Garrett Creek Falls 1513 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.

Dressed up Abram's Falls1558 viewsWith a fairly good camera, polarizing filter, haze filter and good cloud cover we dressed up Abram's Falls.

Don't expect to see this with the naked eye, it's about 1.3 seconds of exposure.

Maybe the most dangerous falls I have been to. If it's wet the trail and overhang could become very slippery.
