After leaving the nearby Tuckaleechee Caverns, I decided to drive the short distance into Great Smokey Mountains National Park to visit a small waterfall visible from the road. Meigs Falls is not all that impressive, but is easily visible from a small pull off along the winding Little River Gorge Road. As I pull my car over, I see there are a number of people here taking in the view of the small waterfall. In the near distance, I spot a stream of water plummeting perhaps twenty feet over the left side of a rock cliff. The view is surrounded by fall colors, which definitely adds to the charm. However, I imagine this would be much more scenic after heavy rains when the waterfall is coming over the entire rock cliff, instead of just one side. Either way, it was only a short detour and worth a stop.
