윌크스 카운티 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Nice opportunity to stretch the legs on a short hike. The falls are more like cascades but nevertheless really pretty - but the lower (and prettier) section needs sure-footedness in order to access (it’s steep, in parts muddy and slippery and rocky). Parking was no problem when we were there in October- but I can imagine that in summer this place can get crowded.

Although not as famous as the Widow's Creek Falls, down stream, Upper Widow's Creek Falls has its own allure that makes it just as majestic. Split by a huge boulder, this double waterfall has a picture-perfect appeal that makes the strenuous hike worth it, as it offers a more intimate and tranquil experience. It is just north of Campsite A, but all backpackers must register and pay at the backpack parking area before camping overnight.

Known for its serene beauty, the creek winds its way through lush greenery, creating a peaceful ambiance. Along the path, you can enjoy the sounds of rushing water and the sight of cascading mini-falls. The surrounding area is a haven for wildlife, and visitors can often spot various bird species and other creatures inhabiting the creek's ecosystem.

Once a secluded gem known only to locals, it has recently opened to the public and quickly become a popular destination. The falls cascade down a series of rocky ledges, creating a picturesque scene. The surrounding area boasts lush greenery and offers opportunities for hiking and exploring.

This restored farm provides a vivid portrayal of the hardships and resilience of early settlers. Once one of sixty homesteads surrounding the mountain, the Hutchinson property now stands as a testament to the self-sufficient lifestyle of these pioneers. You can explore several original buildings, including barns and a blacksmith shop, offering a tangible connection to the past.
