Trail Description:

The Glassamine Falls Overlook is a very short paved walkway that leads to a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys and the Asheville Watershed. I've noticed this falls is very rain dependant, as it is quite high, but not that amazing on flow. Regardless it is an absolutely beautiful view! I will have a photo of Glassamine Falls coming soon!
