Upper Cascade Falls - Giles County, VA

Upper Cascade Falls - Giles County, VA [Nov 7th, 2010]

These are the upper falls about a half mile past the main falls. Well worth the extra hiking!! :D

About 150,000 visitors a year visit the Cascades. Without question, Cascade Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Virginia and possibly on the entire East Coast. Little Stony Creek falls over a vertical cliff in several different streams. Several streams cascade a couple times on the way down while others fall the whole distance of the falls.

The 69 ft. falls crash into a large pool surrounded by two hundred foot cliff walls from which large ice formations hang in the winter. The scene is both breathtaking and peaceful as the falls combine both power and beauty. The falls are also fairly easy to view, with wooden stairs and platforms on one side of the pool allowing a visitor to get very close to the falls as well as allowing a photographer many different angles for photographs.

what road do you take to get there?

@23kashby When you're facing the main falls, take the steps behind you then follow the trail/logging road at the top (which wraps around to the left and behind the main falls). Hopefully, that makes sense ... it's sorta hard to explain.

Just hike up the trail a bit more past the main falls, follow the water. There is a 2 more, really awesome!
