A 2-mile out and back hike from the 51.5 mile point on the Skyline Drive to the top of this 81-foot falls. There is a nice overlook after you cross the top of the falls, but there is no safe way to the bottom. This is on the west side of the ridge, and is best photographed in the morning if the light is harsh. I just made it at about 1:00pm before the sun got into the ravine.

Wow you got around while there! Another nice one.

Any bear sightings?
