12> WCnewsmagazine WNC offers beautiful waterfalls By Carla Batchelor * WCnewsmagazine Waterfalls commonly form where water rushes down steep hillsides and quickly erodes the rocks. The height and number of waterfalls along a stream or river depends upon the type of rocks that are eroded by the water. Some types of rocks (shale, for example) wear away more easily than others (such as sandstone or limestone). As the river or stream wears away the weak rocks, they travel across the surface of stronger rocks. These more resistant rocks become the capstones to waterfalls. The number and thickness of these stronger rock units in a vertical sequence of rocks control how many water falls there are and how much vertical drop there is on each waterfall. Western North Carolina, specifically Transylvania County, is the home to largest number of waterfalls east of the Mississippi River; there are over 200 waterfalls in the county alone. Most of the falls can be viewed from Highways US 64, US 276 and NC 281. Some of the falls found in the county include: Con- nestee, Rainbow, Turtleback, Looking Glass, Courthouse, Slippery Witch, Slid- ing Rock, Dry, Twin and Toxaway Falls. Sliding Rock is a different kind of waterfall; it is a highly interactive wa- terfall which you slide down, yes slide down, hence the name Sliding Rock. Sliding Rock is a naturally occurring 60-foot water slide with a seven-foot deep pool that has been developed by the US Forest Service into a recreation area. This natural water slide is fueled by 11,000 gallons of water pumped down the rock each minute, creating an exhilarating experience. These 11,000 gallons of water that flow stay the same temperature year around, which is around 70 degrees, this temperature adds to the experience, especially when sliding down the rock in the late summer and early fall. Sliding Rock is open year around, so depending on how daring you are, you can choose to make this trip whenever "you feel the urge. Looking Glass Falls is one of North Carolinas most photographed falls due to its location right off of US 276 in Brevard. This 60 foot high waterfall is easily viewed from your car, but there is also a flight of stairs which leads you right down to the bottom, but do not attempt to climb the falls. When this water- fall freezes over in the winter time, the surface of the cliffs reflects sunlight to _resemble a looking glass. While there are not nearly as many waterfalls in Jackson County as Transylvania County, there are a significant number; which are a short drive from campus. Jackson County is the home of the highest falls east of the Rock- ies, Whitewater Falls. This waterfall drops an amazing 411 feet and it is easily accessible after a less than % mile hike. While there is a $2 vehicle fee, it is well worth the amazing view of the falls. Mingo Falls, is another local waterfall which is located on the Qual- la Boundary, in Cherokee. This fall has a height of 120 feet and is absolutely breathtaking siaiitatasi = with its multi- a : ple cascades. Mingo has been rated one of the most impressive falls in Western North Carolina, and is only a short drive from campus. Mingo Falls is located past the KOA Campground off of 441; there are signs near the campground that tell you where to go. The climb to the falls is a moderate one, with approximately 170 steps that take you about 2/10ths of a mile up, then a short easy trail provides access to the falls. The Deep Creek area in Bryson City is the home to three waterfalls. While they are not as impressive as Whitewater or Looking Glass Falls, it is worth the trip. Tubing is popular on Deep Creek in the summer months; as you float down the river, you can see some of the falls. But if you are not up for tubing in these chilly fall months, Juneywhank, Toms Branch and Indian Creek Falls are within a close vicinity of one another. These falls range from 80 feet to 20 feet, and are a short hike from the parking area at the Juneywhank trail- head, off of Deep Creek Road. Whenever going out to view waterfalls, always remember to bring your camera but be careful. Rocks around the falls can get very slippery. Please read and obey any signs located in all areas around the falls. While waterfalls are absolutely beautiful, they can be deadly and dangerous at the same time if you are not carefull
