Looking Glass Falls
A roadside waterfall about 18 m wide that you can see from your car, and the most photographed falls in Pisgah National Forest.
Looking Glass Falls sits right beside US-276. After parking, a few dozen steps lead down to the base, where the water sheets off a rock face about 18 m high. In summer you can wade in the shallow pools downstream. Because access is so easy, it is busy year-round, so visit early in the morning for a quieter experience. Nearby are Sliding Rock, Moore Cove Falls and the Cradle of Forestry, which together make a one-day “waterfall country” tour around Brevard, about 50 minutes from Asheville.
