Laurel Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall in the Great Smoky Mountains, cascades over rocks surrounded by lush green trees, with a fallen log in the foreground.
The lower section of Laurel Falls, with water flowing over rocks, features a wooden fence and concrete steps, suggesting an early arrival for parking is beneficial.
Hikers are seen climbing on large rocks at the lower section of Laurel Falls, where water flows over multiple rock formations, offering an interactive experience.
