Hickory Nut Upper Waterfall is a compact cascade framed by rhododendron, moss, and forest walls—ideal for moody waterfall portraits and layered landscape compositions. Visit in spring for lush greenery and strong flow, or late fall for clearer views through drier foliage. Light is soft under canopy; plan for mist and short pauses at overlooks. Trails can be uneven and slippery after rain.
