Looking Glass Falls
North Carolina Travelog #3
Pisgah National Forest, NC - Wed, 20 Sep 2023. 5:30pm
After wrapping up our hike to Twin Falls it was just a short drive up the country highway to our next stop of the afternoon, Looking Glass Falls. Again, the benefit of staying close to the action!
Unlike Twin Falls, Looking Glass Falls doesn't require a hike up a steep trail followed by careful footwork on slick rocks to get close to the falls. It's right next to the highway and only requires careful footwork on slick rocks to get close to the falls. 😅 Lest that still sound too daunting, consider that this couple made it in their wedding clothes!
A few other hikers waited with us at the top of the steps for the soon-to-be-married couple to finish their photo op. It was uncrowded enough on our mid-week visit to wait 10 minutes. Plus, we felt a connection with them. Hawk and I are on this trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary, as were the other hikers we waited with at the top. The couple at the bottom is starting their own, similar tradition today.
