Hows that for a tongue twister? Brandi and I attempted to hike to this waterfall in June 2007 a day or two before I had surgery and would not be able to do anything for a month. At the time, the mile long road leading to the falls was closed, so our hike began there, once we got to the end of the road we had another half mile to go to reach the side trail that leads to the falls but some how we missed that... We ended up getting semi lost in the wilderness of Avery County, NC. After several hours of hiking we made it back to the truck, by my estimation from looking at maps, we hiked around 8 miles or so, going down, then back up around 1500-2000 vertical feet. All while carrying 20 pounds of camera equipment each.
Not too fun, and we didnt even find the waterfall!!!
Two years later, or, just last week, my friend Ben and I headed out to find this waterfall, equipped with better directions, and the luck of the road being open, we found it!
If you get a chance, look up Ben Earp on myspace, he posted a few photos of his own, he got some good shots as well...
