Spectacular waterfall near Cashiers, NC
Whitewater Falls的点评
点评：We had visited Whitewater Falls a number of years ago and wanted to see it again as we were in the area. We approached it from Cashiers, from which you go south, and then cut over to the east and north again on a couple of other roads. On this route, as we approached the map location, our cell signal went away. There was a sign on our left, but nothing obvious as to where the falls were. We had to proceed for a mile or so and turn around. As we came back, we were able to see a road (now on our left) that angled away and down somewhat steeply at first. It was surprisingly easy to miss! So, look for the Forest Service sign about Whitewater and look across the road for the entrance there.
You head down a bit and come to a series of connected parking lots. There is also a restroom. At the far end of the lots is the paved trail to the falls. There is a Forest Service pay-station at the entrance end of the lot. You can pull an envelope and either pay the $3 in cash and fill out your info, or if you have some sort of annual or lifetime parks pass, you can enter the number. You may be able to pay by app too (?). When we visited, there was a Forest Service employee at a picnic pavilion near the trail who was also collecting fees.
The trail is about 1/3 of a mile or less. It ends at a flat spot overlooking the falls. However, there are a number of small trees and bushes that obscure part of the view. You can get some photos here, but there is a better option. Stairs lead down from here maybe 200 feet to an observation platform. This offers better and less obstructed views of the falls. If you can hike down, it is worth it.
The falls themselves are spectacular, especially for the eastern U.S. If you are able to visit during fall leaf season, the view is even better! The falls are a series of cascades, as opposed to a singular one. This was one of the highlights of our trip to this area.

翻译：几年前我们曾经去过怀特沃特瀑布，因为这次正好也在这一带，所以想再去看一看。我们从卡希尔出发，向南行驶，随后又沿着几条其他道路转向东和北。沿着这条路线前行时，当我们快抵达地图上标注的位置时，手机信号消失了。我们的左侧有一个指示牌，但并没有任何明显的标志能指出瀑布的位置。我们只好继续前行了大约一英里，然后掉头返回。就在我们折返的时候……我们看到了一条路（现在在我们的左侧），它起初呈斜向延伸，坡度还挺陡。这条路简直极易被忽略！因此，请先寻找标有“Whitewater”字样的森林管理局指示牌，然后穿过马路去寻找那里的入口。
顺着路往下走一点，就会看到一连串相互连接的停车场，那里还有一个洗手间。在停车场的尽头就是通往瀑布的铺砌步道。在停车场入口处设有一个森林管理局的收费站。你可以取一张缴费单，要么用现金支付3美元并填写个人信息，要么如果你有某种年度或终身入园通行证，也可以输入通行证编号。或许还可以通过应用程序付款（？）。我们去参观时，发现步道附近的野餐亭里有一名林务局工作人员正在收取费用。
这条步道长度约为1/3英里或更短。它终点处有一块平坦之地，可以俯瞰瀑布。不过，周围有不少小树和灌木丛遮挡了部分视野。在这里也能拍到一些照片，不过有个更好的选择。从这里有楼梯向下延伸约200英尺，通往一个观景台。从那里观看瀑布的视野更佳，也不会被遮挡。如果你能走下那段路，绝对值得一试。
这里的瀑布相当壮观，对于美国东部地区而言更是如此。倘若能在秋季树叶变色的时节前来游览，景色就更美了！这些瀑布其实是由一连串的瀑布组成，而非单一的一道瀑布。这可是我们此行中最令人难忘的亮点之一。
