Description
Crabtree Falls in North Carolina is situated on the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville. Following a recent hurricane, the water in the falls was at a greatly increased flow. Tumbling more than 70-ft into a deep pool below, Crabtree Creek falls over a towering, sheer cliff, forming one of Western North Carolina’s most beautiful waterfalls.
To get to the falls there is a short hike through a beautiful forest at just over a mile. Beyond the falls the hike climbs through a forest filled with mountain laurel, visiting the cascades of another small waterfall and trailing through a valley filled with rhododendron, wildflowers and grassy creek banks. There is an abundance of scenic beauty in a relatively short three miles – and the view from the base of this enormous waterfall is just stunning.
This image was taken while the tripod was delicately poised on the rickety bridge. It was fortunate that no other visitors were present at the time!
