High Falls35 viewsThe tallest falls on the Little River, High Falls slides 150' down an inclined plane of granite. This picture was taken near a picnic shelter, built on the site of the old Buck Forest Hunt Club lodge. The trail to the bottom was ice covered and after a couple falls we decided to wait until spring to go to the bottom of the falls.
Note the covered bridge across the top of the falls.

Hard Winter32 viewsThere was a patch of ground cover next to the trail where we enjoyed taking macro pictures. This one seems to have had a long hard winter.

Peering Into The Hills24 viewsThis man was deep in thought looking from the Covered Bridge at the top of High Falls across the hills.
One of our few black and white pictures.

High Falls Covered Bridge25 viewsThis bridge was built by a developer just before the state took the land for the forest. People and horses cross here. A horse drawn wagon crossed through the river just below the bridge.

Triple Falls35 viewsThe falls drop about 120 feet through three sections. We wandered out on the rocks next to the falls but the mist made picture taking impossible.

Hooker Falls28 viewsThe smallest of the falls we visited. We were able to walk right up next to the falls.
June spotted a fish jumping at the base of the falls. Looked like a salmon jumping up the falls.

Rock Steady30 viewsAn extended exposure to capture the steady rocks and the falling water. It was a bright day, which made the long exposure a challenge. Another black and white from this trip.

Looking Glass Falls46 viewsNot in DuPont State Forest but a few miles away in Pisgah National Forest. Looking Glass Falls get their name from Looking Glass Rock where water freezes on its sides in the winter and then glistens in the sunlight like a mirror or looking glass. This fly fisherman walked up the creek while we were there.
