Some waterfalls are fairly easy to reach, while others require a bit of a vertical hike. And this one hike up several staircases leads you to the tallest waterfall in the state.

The Falls of Hills Creek Scenic Area, located in Richwood, leads to three amazing waterfalls, one of which is the highest in the entire state.

To reach each of these falls you must ascend a series of wooden and metal staircases through dense woods and foliage.

Along the way, you will encounter two viewing decks, such as this one, overlooking the river rapids. The 114-acre scenic area will offer you some beautiful views and an excellent opportunity for some great photos. However, the website does recommend you take your hike between 12:00 p.m. and 2 p.m. because the limited light at the lowest levels of the path, hidden deep in the woods, will receive the brightest light during that period.
