Laurel Falls 

Laurel Falls is the most visited falls in the park. So much so that they've paved the trail all the way to it. The trail beyond it goes through some old growth forest and on up to a firetower. Info HERE

9/23/2004 - After 4 days of hiking I was quite tired. Decided something easy was in order, even if it was crawling with tourists. Went past the falls without a picture at first, too many people. Checked out the big trees and then got some shots of the falls on the way back out.
