Waterfalls -- Great Smoky Mountains (N.C. and Tenn.)

The popular 80-foot high Laurel Falls is named for mountain laurel, an evergreen shrub which blooms along the trail and near the falls in May. The waterfall consists of an upper and a lower section, today, divided by a walkway that crosses the stream at the base of the upper falls. This photograph, with others in this series, are included in the records of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club, formed after a group of outdoor enthusiasts hiked up to Mount LeConte in October 1924.
