Rainbow Falls
Brevard NC

Rainbow Falls is for waterfall addicts. It is on private land and only accessible by a poorly marked, narrow, very rocky trail. (The last time we were there there were no signs at all but you can see where other people have walked.) The falls are some 200 feet high and, especially after the spring rains, are really worth the effort. The mist created by the water splashing furiously against all the rocks creates a permanent rainbow - hence the name.

Take US-64 west from Brevard to NC-281. Turn left (south), another 2 miles and park on the side of the highway just before you cross the bridge (Horse Pasture River: quaint!). (see also Horsepasture Falls, Drift Falls and Whitewater Falls, all in the immediate area.)
