Near Highlands. The original Hwy 64 routed travelers under the falls, but it soon became evident that this was a dangerous venture in the winter months. Thirty years later, a by-pass was constructed to route traffic around the falls. You can still pull off and drive under the falls in the warmer seasons.

Near Highlands. Terrifying, absolutely terrifying. A tiny pull-off on the side of a narrow, well traveled mountain highway was the vantage point for this falls. Seth risked life and limb to climb up a bank opposite the pull-off to get this shot.
First off, happy birthday wishes to my brother-in-law, Greg! We were thinking about you while we were hiking to this waterfall near Cashiers. This hike involved a little trespassing at a closed down bed and breakfast. At the time our waterfall guidebook was published, the b&b was open and allowed access to the public. When we got to the gate, we discovered that the b&b was closed, although a housing development that shared the same gate buzzed us in. The photo on the right was taken from the front lawn of the b&b, which features one of the best views of the Devil's Courthouse in the area.

Near Cashiers. Getting to this falls involved a vertical hike up a rock face, but fortunately tree roots made for perfect hand and foot grips.
