Glen Falls - North Carolina

Glenn Falls is located just outside Highlands, NC about 3 miles on US Hwy 64W. You there is a stone/dirt road that leads about .5 miles to the parking area. There are 2 trails, one is 1.6 miles and leads back out to Hwy 106, the other trail about a mile(to the left, trust me!) and is steep at points. The trail is narrow, and not easy or for the faint of heart. Everything says there are 3 approximate 60 foot falls, and maybe I gave up too soon, but I only passed 2 and a smaller one. Expect the round trip to take a couple of hours if you plan on spending any time at each falls.

These shots were all taken with a Canon 20D and 24-70L Lens using a B+W ND103 and B+W CP mounted on a Bogen 3021Pro tripod and using a Bogen 322RC2 Ball/Grip head.

I rate these falls at 8 and access difficulty at 8-9.
