This is in the 18 Waterfalls in One Day - hike and drive, see the link on the right
7/21/2013 - went back to get the upper falls on Crow Creek. The middle falls is so hidden by rhododendrons that it wouldn't video well, and I'm still babying my sore leg and didn't think it would be good to try to slide down the bank to get closer. Maybe some other time. But I did get the upper falls.
3/30/2013 - this was on my "check up" day, checking the roads on my 18 Waterfalls trip. Turned out they are in good shape, especially considering how wet it was in the last few months. Took advantage of being there to get videos of the falls along the road, including this one.
2/19/2011 - went back to this one, to get better pictures. I also got a picture of a smaller falls between the upper and lower falls. I tried going upstream above the upper falls and from the sound, there's another falls up there - but couldn't see it and the scramble down to the creek looked too difficult to try alone.
6/19/2010 - The lower falls are easily visible from the road. To get to the upper falls, you climb over a mound meant to stop drivers and hike a short way up what is probably an old logging road. There's no sign for the upper falls, but you can hear them and will see an eroded spot where people have walked down to them. This is evidently a popular picnic spot as someone has constructed a large, elaborate rock barbecue here!
