Dramatic multi-tiered waterfall cutting a steep granite gorge in Pisgah National Forest. Photograph powerful cascades, mist, moss-covered rock and fall foliage from several overlooks (Erwin’s, Plunge Basin, Tom’s Creek). Best light is sunrise or late afternoon for side lighting and color; misty mornings add atmosphere. Short but sometimes steep trails (0.3–1.6 miles round-trip) and small parking areas at the trailhead—arrive early on weekends. No special permits for casual shooting; respect rail
