Toms Creek Falls (McDowell County, North Carolina)

 

Toms Creek Falls near Mount Mitchell is my next and final stop for the day. This one appears to be very popular as there are ten or twelve cars parked at the trailhead between the defined spots and alongside the road. The trail is once again short and leads slightly uphill to an observation deck, while a side trail leads to a better view of the falls. Interesting that the built the deck here instead the higher point. 

This waterfall is a lone ranger and sits at the back of a stone cliff carved out like a horseshoe. Though there isn't a lot of water flowing today, it's still pretty impressive as it tumbles twenty-five or so meters over the cliff. There are a few other people here taking in the view, but after getting my shots, I decide to head back to the car.
