Virgin Falls State Natural Area

One of three big waterfalls on the Virgin Falls Trail in Scott's Gulf. Night time full moon slow shutter picture of Big Laurel Falls.

The mist coming from the Big Laurel falls in the sunbeams looks really pretty in this valley

Since I was 8, this has been one of my favorite backpacking hikes with a great 100 ft waterfall as the finale! Once known as Virgin Falls Pocket Wilderness, this almost 5 mile trail is now a State Park and very well maintained with lots of visitors. Easier to view in the Fall.
