Rainbow Falls | Oil Painting | Artist: Painter Lyn

Rainbow Falls

16x20, oil painting on stretched canvas, Framed

Artist: Painter Lyn

Creased into a rugged gorge and surrounded by steep granite walls streaked with black and tan, Rainbow Falls is a great destination for those of us who like hiking down. The .5-mile descent to the base of the falls is a drop over jumbled tree roots and around walls of stone, and at two different points you will need to use ropes that are provided. After you linger at the base for a while, you will realize that hiking back up is the only way to get back to your car. The hike is strenuous, but the bottom-up view of this 100-foot waterfall more than makes up for it.

Rainbow Falls is located on property owned by Camp Greenville and you must get permission before you hike. You can call (864) 836-3291 for permission and trail conditions.
