Hike the Graveyard Fields Loop at mile marker 418 off the parkway. It's a moderately difficult hike to the bottom of the waterfall , but it's worth it on a hot day.

Nothing could be better for body and soul than this precious place. I can never forget the beautiful sights and the best air I've ever breathed. We walked for miles and miles and then came back

Waterfall
Looking Glass Falls

Nice simple waterfall right next to the road. Easy to see from road level, or take a few sets of steps to get closer view from lower vantage point. Long stretch of roadside parking helped too. - John Kraft
