Glassmine Falls

Best viewed in the spring when water is more plentiful, the Falls are very narrow the rest of the summer. It occasionally dries up completely. You can view the falls from Glassmine Falls Overlook at milepost 361.1. Look across the valley to locate the Falls. Although the stream of water is narrow, the sign says it is 800' high, some sources say 200', but you should be able to see it easily even from this distance.
It's a thin sliver of water cascading down a bare rock outcropping where a Mica mine once was. You can still barely make out the mine entrance to the bottom right side of the rock face.
I took this photo on 10-20-06 around 5 p.m. The temperature had dropped to about 50° and the wind was blowing strong. I was using my 70-200mm lens at 200mm in order to get all I could in the picture.
