Apple Orchard Falls
A waterfall with a drop of about 60 meters beside the Blue Ridge Parkway. Forest trails and wooden boardwalks let you get close to the falling water.
The waterfall lies in the Jefferson National Forest and drops about 60 meters. From the Sunset Field parking area at milepost 78 of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the round trip is about 6.4 km, taking about 3 hours. The uphill return is tiring. The water is most spectacular in spring after rain. It can be combined with Otter Peak on the same day.
