Looking Glass Falls is a 60 foot waterfall a few miles north of Brevard, NC. It is a roadside waterfall, and the parking and observation area beside Highway 276 makes it one of the most easily accessible waterfalls.

I was very fortunate in the timing of my arrival. Recent heavy rains had increased the water flow over the falls, and created a heavy mist. A normally dry observation deck near the base of the falls was getting drenched. The heavy mist combined with a late afternoon sun to create a rainbow. It was fascinating to watch the changes in the rainbow as the mist swirled.
