If you've never experienced Crabtree Falls in Nelson County, Virginia before, autumn is the perfect season to see it for the first time.
It's famous for being the tallest series of cascading waterfalls east of the Mississippi River, and you'll explore every section as you hike alongside it on a challenging staircase trail.
The rocks and stairs can become slippery depending on rainfall, so it's crucial that hikers remain on the designated pathway the entire way up.
From the top, hikers will enjoy breathtaking mountain views for as far as the eye can see. If you choose to continue along the trail, you'll eventually meet up with the famous Appalachian Trail.
