Note: Waterfalls
are dangerous. We have many accitents every year where people have
fallen, frequently to their deaths, because they ventured to close
to the edge or, worse, attempted to climb them. Please be careful so
you - and your family - can enjoy your stay and have many pleasant
memories in the years to come. |

Blue Ridge Parkway
-
Yellowstone Falls
(Milepost 418.8)
At milepost 418.8 of the Blue Ridge Parkway is an area known as
Graveyard Fields. A black-top trail descends to the East
Fork of the Pigeon River, crosses on a sturdy wood
footbridge from which you can go downstream (to the right)
to Lower Falls. Or, go upstream (about a 1.5 mile walk) to
the Upper Falls.
The main waterfall, Yellowstone Falls, is really best viewed from
the scenic overlook just before the Graveyard Fields parking
lot. Trying to access it by foot is very difficult and
dangerous.
