Tiny Creek1903 viewsIt's hard to believe this little creek furnishes all the water one sees on the trail. Must be some springs along the way.

Rock Creek South Branch (1)1902 viewsThis falls can be tricky to find. If you are going to the upper falls, above the foot bridge, keep watching for a downed tree that has been cut about waist level. Turn right just after the tree on the faint trail. Cross the creek and you should see an old brick fire pit. Keep going up the adjacent small creek. This is the South Branch, not the original creekk you started out on.

To find South Branch Falls continue less than 0.2 miles to the falls.

Yeah, Skunk.1902 viewsLet's just say unusual name. Don't let the low rating fooll you. The road crosses the falls about midway up, the part in the photo. If you decide to photograph from the bottom youu are looking at a *** rating.

This part is about 150 ft high. See the house uon top? The falls come through their yard.

Little Stony Upper-11901 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.
