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.
