Both Plunges2200 viewsPhotos really do not do Brdal Veil justice. These are huge cliffs with two 600 ft plunges.

Down Stream *2200 viewsMaybe a ten foot falls but, water was high and it was an easy photo shot, right beside the road to Thurmon, WV.

This road leads to a rafting drop off so watch out for buss traffic, not school bus type...Gray Dog type.
LAUREL FORK FALLS, TN-1.JPG
Laurel Fork Falls2199 viewsThis is one of the most visited falls in the area due to it's being located on the Appalachian Trail.

To reach the falls and get a good hike, venture up Dennis Cove Road and park at the well marked Appalachian Trail crossing.

There are at least two more falls on the way if you are a little more experienced.

If you want a little more difficult hike, park at the crossing in Hampton, TN.

Frenchie2192 viewsWent to Normandy to pay my respect to those young men who will never grow old.

Along the river I found the only waterfall I saw on the Seine River Cruise. Unfortunately, it was small and at night.

Yeah, I know the same nation that gave us (US) the Statue Of Liberty has better waterfalls, I just did not go near one.

Need Rain2187 viewsI'll definitely return to this falls after wet weather. The Sun shines directly on the falls in the PM so, I'll also bring along my better camera for a smaller aperture.
