We went to Asheville, NC for our honeymoon, and intended to do a bunch of hiking while we were there. Looking Glass Falls in Brevard, NC, was high on my list of places I wanted to go, but it turns out that's not actually a hike...just a flight of stairs down to the falls from the road. We were going to find a hike to do after Looking Glass Falls, but we drove through a torrential blinding downpour on the way to Looking Glass, and the sky was awfully rumbly and a bit drippy, so we decided not to risk a full hike anywhere. We did find another waterfall nearby that was just a short walk from its parking are though. (Daniel Ridge Falls). And we also got to enjoy the views from the Blue Ridge Parkway as we made our way back from Brevard to Asheville.
Looking Glass Falls
Despite the rain and resulting chill in the air, there were a lot of people here, on the steps, on the rocks, and in the water! We ended up wading out into the water to try and get some photos without people in them. The water was pretty chilly which I wouldn't have minded if it was 90 degrees out, but since it was cooler and damp I started shivering immediately.
