Hiking down to the Second Fallsįrom the busy parking lot, we followed the trail leaving the northeastern side (facing the overlook to the right) which descended a mix of steps and dirt path through a grove of some bush with twisty branches. We also managed to check out the Second Falls from stair steps leading to the boulder-fringed creek right at its base as well as from the creek bank itself. We saw some people chilling out near the top of the falls though we were content with taking the stairs down to its base for better views (and photo opportunities). The falls tumbled over several rounded tiers with a cumulative drop of about 60ft. Second Falls (or Lower Falls or Yellowstone Falls) in the Graveyard Fields I’ve also seen this waterfall referred to as Lower Falls (according to the signs here) as well as Yellowstone Falls (according to some maps in the literature, but this is actually a totally different waterfall). Second Falls was essentially our waterfalling excuse to check out the popular Graveyard Fields stop while driving the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway. ![]()
