Crabtree Falls (Lower Falls), VA

I was taken back by Crabtree Falls. It was amazing. One thing that made it so special was that I went during a time that many would rather just stay in their homes where the warm and cozy fire is burning bright . . . not me, I was hiking upside the largest waterfall in VA. Some argue that it is the largest fall east of the Mississippi!

FUN FACT:
In about a 1/2 mile, the creek drops 1,200 ft. and there is one vertical drop of 500 ft. The death toll on the falls is marked at 23.

I went during the month of February and it was FREEZING and most of the trail was under ice. Needless to say, I spent most of the time falling on my bottom but that made the trip that much more fun :)
