Not in session1845 viewsSince I was the only hiker present, court apparently was not in session at Courthouse Falls.

Well worth the drive down the forest road and quater mile hike.

For Lovers?1840 viewsVirginia is for lovers.........if you love waterfalls.

This series of waterfalls is like a cascade on a very large scale.

I only had a short time to take these photos but, already planning a tripback, just to photograph Crabtree.

Twofer1832 viewsHere is an odd waterfall. Two creeks merging at nearly opposites directions, plunging over rock walls into a common creek below.

Hard to explain but, you can drive right up to these falls and see for yourself.

Dressed up Abram's Falls1830 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.
