Elk River Falls

The last stop for Sara, mom, and I in the Roan Highlands last Friday was to Elk River Falls in Elk Falls, NC.  We decided to make a stop by this waterfall since it was still pretty early in the day after we got done hiking.

This was a really nice waterfall that I didn't even know existed, although mom claims I have been there before.  It had a ton of water volume compared to many other waterfall that I have seen in the area.  It was only about a 500 yard walk from the parking area.  Supposedly, the water is deep enough that you can jump off the top into the swimming hole below.  Elk Falls is probably now one of my favorite falls that I have seen in the area.

Check out these guys kayaking off the falls.  Nuts
