Take a Hike - Part 4 - Glen Onoko Falls

2008.11.01
This is the 60 foot tall Glen Onoko Falls, and the reason for scrambling up a very steep and rocky mountain!

From the side you can really see how much water comes over the falls!

This was taken about half way up the hiking trail, in an attempt to show the scale of the falls.

And here's the reward at the top - a beautiful fall view of the valley!

Glen Onoko is the largest of all the waterfalls on Glen Onoko Run, it's 60 feet in height. Supposedly, an indian maiden thru herself over these falls when her father refused to allow her to marry her love. The base of the falls is a slippery and treacherous pile of boulders, so you'll have to take my word for the height on this one, no way was I climbing out into that!
