This is a portion of the lower Crabtree Falls just off the Blue Ridge Parkway on Route 56 East. The trail to the top is 1.8 miles and the reward of both the view and the upper falls are well worth the climb. Crabtree is also a dangerous place if you ignore the signs, over 20 people have died here falling off the slippery rocks. Cindy and I stopped here for a brief walk just after the area recieved over 5 inches of rain.
