Only gave it a * rating but, that is to the bottom and expect a 4 plus hike on a good road.

Hard To Miss2180 viewsCan you see th person in this photo? So many visitors were present that one can only Lightroom out so many.

Hills Creek Falls may be taller but, it can not possibly be more crowded with folks. I will be visiting Hills Creek with my handy dandy laser in the near future.

WV Pride2199 viewsCathedral Falls may be West virginia's tallest falls. Hill Creek Falls also claims that distinction but, depends on where one aims the laser, I suppose.

It surely is the most visited, being right beside US 60.
