点评:We had been at nearby Sliding Rock. This is only a few minutes away, so we had to stop.
Looking Glass Falls is a 60 foot beauty that gets its name from the monolith located along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is part of the Pisgah National Forest. It gets it water flow from the French Broad River. The film can can actually be seen in the movie Hacksaw Ridge and in an episode of Lassie!
This is waterfall hunting at its easiest. You simply park, walk a few feet..and bam..a gorgeous waterfall!!! There is an observation deck which gives you a great view of the falls framed by the trees. This is perfect for those with mobility issues. From here there are a series of steps here that lead to the base of th falls. You can swim at the base of the falls. But unlike nearby Sliding Rock, there are no lifeguards. So swim at your own risk. We had been out at Sliding Rock so we were tired and stayed at the observation deck taking a few pics.
The falls are only a few minutes away from Sliding Rock. The falls are free and so is the parking. There is parking along the sides. You will see cars parked along the way before you get there. In the mountains its always a good idea when you see cars parked to pull over and see what your missing!
翻译:我们之前去了附近的Sliding Rock。这里离得不远,只有几分钟的路程,所以我们决定停下来看看。
Looking Glass Falls是一处高达60英尺的美丽瀑布,其名字来源于蓝岭公路旁的一块巨大岩石。它隶属于皮斯加国家森林,水源则来自法国布罗德河。实际上,这个瀑布还曾出现在电影《血战钢锯岭》以及《Lassie》剧集中呢!
这就是最简单的“寻瀑之旅”:只需停车,走几步路……哇!一座绝美的瀑布便出现在眼前啦!!这里有一个观景台,从那里可以透过树木的间隙欣赏到瀑布的壮丽景色。对于行动不便的人士来说,这里是绝佳的去处。从观景台往下有一系列台阶,可直通瀑布下方。你可以在瀑布底下游泳。不过与附近的Sliding Rock相比,这里没有救生员值守,因此游泳风险需由你自己承担。我们之前刚游览过Sliding Rock,实在疲惫不堪,所以就留在观景台上拍了几张照片。瀑布离Sliding Rock只有几分钟的路程。观赏瀑布是免费的,停车也免费。路边有停车位。在到达那里之前,你会看到沿途停着许多汽车。在山区,当你看到有车停着时,最好也把车靠边停下,看看自己错过了什么吧!
