On the same day Gretchen and I explored Stovall Mill Covered Bridge, we drove up to where Forest Service 7 and Forest Service 86 roads (well... I'm not sure I'd call them roads...) intersect (not even a mile south of the North Carolina border) to check out the Holcomb Creek Trail in order to see Ammons Creek Falls & Holcomb Creek Falls. At the trailhead, we were greeted with a cool marker.
Of course, I should have heeded the "Difficult Trail" marker a bit more as on the way down (and the trail only goes down towards the first waterfall) Gretchen had a very tough slip. Her tenacity got the best of her and we soldiered on until we made it to a more exciting marker indicating we made it to the Holcomb Creek Waterfall.
That first picture with the fella on the right hand side of the lower rocks is there to try to give some perspective of this 150 foot spectacular tier fall.
I surely did NOT give this fall justice in my pictures, although I took a good selfie! You really do have to see this thing with your eyes. It is very, very pretty.
We wandered down the trail a bit more to find Ammons Creek Falls. While this tiered beauty is only 75 feet tall, I actually enjoyed it slightly more as its observation deck is positioned just above it and about half the way down it. You get the much more "in your face" experience which did help on my camera shots.
Since we've seen a number of Waterfalls in Georgia and now we're getting to the ever increasingly more remote ones, we might start looking to some of our neighboring states for their showcase falls (and to give us some new weekend destinations). As for trail and its falls, they are an overwhelming thumbs-up from me!
