White Rock Falls

This afternoon we found a nice hike for Zara. It's at mile marker 20 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, across the road from The Slacks Overlook parking area, 0.9 miles one way. The hike is "moderate", with plenty of flats, some steeps, and a few rocky areas. The fall leaves made some places slippery. You cross two foot bridges, and are rewarded at the end with a 35 foot water fall into a small clear pool, ideal for cooling off before reversing direction and hiking back. There's an opportunity for a rock scramble on the way back, to view the falls from above.
