The Narrows of Eastatoe Creek is one of the waterfalls on the Carolina Mountain Club’s Waterfall Challenge 100 that I have been working, off and on to achieve the last several years. This particular hike was a longer one at 5 miles round trip. The majority of the hike is on a relatively (a few …
As I planned my last waterfall hike of 2016, I first chose the big one. It came down between Pinnacle Falls and The Narrows on Eastatoe Creek, both in upstate SC along US 178. I usually like to make a full day so picked a few smaller, easy ones as well. I planned to find …
King Creek Falls was the main waterfall I was here to see on this late February afternoon. I made a full day of it though, stopping along the way at White Owl Falls, and Spoonauger Falls. Both Falls had impressive waterflows. It was a dreary, cloudy day. It had all the makings of an epic …
I first visited Spoonauger Falls in late February 2016. It was an overcast day, with lots of rain falling in the days prior to my hike. I was in this area to make a return visit to King Creek Falls. My 1st visit was over 2 years ago, and I wanted to return under better …
It was a late January Sunday afternoon. We had just spent 1-2 hours exploring each waterfall at Brasstown Falls. It had already been a great day, and a great weekend as well. I had spent time the previous day in NE Georgia seeing waterfalls, and had seen some waterfalls the same day before Brasstown. I could …
Brasstown Falls is a unique setting of 4 very cool, interesting, beautiful and different waterfalls located very close to one another. 3 of them are on Brasstown Creek and 1 is just upstream on the feeder stream Little Brasstown Creek. Brasstown Falls was the destination for one of my trips to South Carolina in 2014, …
Station Cove Falls is a beautiful 60 foot set of cascades that starts as one drop and then splits into two. The group and I, after completing the primary hike to Sids Falls on Shoulder Bone Branch, had enough energy and daylight for 1 more waterfall. There wasn’t much time left on these short days when …
Twin Falls in northern South Carolina is spectacular. As my waterfall list nears the 150 mark now, Twin Falls remain a solid top 10 pick in my favorites list. It’s really a combination of what a great waterfall and scene this is, the ease of access, and a very central location in an area …
I finally found my way to Virginia Hawkins Falls in late April 2015. I feel kind of silly for it taking so long, especially seeing how many times I have driven right past it. It is a beautiful 25 foot waterfall that seems more difficult to reach than it really is. From the trailhead, …
I nearly missed this opportunity! As we suffered through one of the coldest periods in recent memory, wonderful photos of normal waterfalls transformed into unique ice sculptures, carved only by the fastest of the moving waters began to show on Social Media everywhere. I had a Sunday all set up to get out into …
