For many generations Bridal Veil Falls, which is located in the Nantahala National Forest, has been famous for being the only waterfall in North Carolina you can drive behind.

Easy Waterfalls to Hike To
Easy hikes are known for being generally flat with only a few up/down sections. They are usually maintained trails that don't have many obstacles.
Most, if any, obstacles can be walked around, as the paths are normally wider than more difficult hiking trails. Most easy trails are short, but may not necessarily be so.
Easy trails can walked by most, including small children, although, as with anything, they may want to be carried some or all of the way.

In our photos you really can only see the bottom of the waterfall. The top part is almost completely blocked from… [Read More]

While visiting Bald River Falls you probably saw this waterfall and never even realized that it was a different waterfall. Until recently I didn’t know either. I had always thought it was part of Bald River Falls. After viewing the amazing Bald River Falls, go to the upper end of the parking lot, where you… [Read More]
