Crabtree Falls

The falls are properly called "Upper Falls" on Crabtree Creek, but everyone calls them Crabtree Falls, so the name kind of sticks. The loop trail to the falls is moderately strenuous but beautiful, and the falls themselves rate very high in terms of photogenic qualities. If you have time to hike to just one waterfall in the area, this may be it. A must-see.
