Looking Glass Falls is one of the most iconic waterfall elopement locations near Asheville. Located in Pisgah National Forest, this spectacular 60 foot waterfall offers incredible scenery without requiring a hike. A roadside viewing area provides easy access, while stairs lead closer to the base of the falls for a more adventurous experience. It is a wonderful option for couples or guests who prefer minimal walking, although its beauty and accessibility also make it one of the area's most popular and busiest waterfalls.
Very busy in summer and fall. Parking is the longest part of the walk to the falls.
