Red Fork Falls 

Fantastic 60' waterfall that is strenuous and dangerous to view. The base of the falls are reached not by hiking but by climbing down a very steep trail. It's worth it though... Info: HERE

8-14-2004 - Visited Red Fork Falls and then traveled on around Red Fork Road and Beauty Spot Gap Road. Checked out Beauty Spot, Pleasant Garden and a few other overlooks.
