    Bear Skull Falls, the largest of several along this stretch of the OHT, is a beautiful, multi-tiered waterfall over fantastic slot-like rock formations that end in a calm pool at its base. The falls tumble through a narrow ravine surrounded by mossy boulders and dense forest canopy. It's especially photogenic after rainfall. If you are from Arkansas and are familiar with Cedar Falls at Petit Jean State Park, you'll notice the striking similarity, but not quite as large. The short spur trail to reach the falls is well worth the side trip, perfect for a scenic break to capture some memorable photos
