Near the popular Looking Glass Falls is the hidden jewel of Moore Cove Falls. It's one of the few waterfalls that you can walk behind. Hike to this 50-ft. tall waterfall from a small parking area by a stone bridge on U.S. 276, one mile north (toward the Blue Ridge Parkway) from Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest.
There are no signs on the highway for Moore Cove, but there is an information board by the parking area so you will know you are in the right spot. Begin your 3/4 of a mile hike (1.5 miles roundtrip) by crossing the wooden pedestrian bridge. It's a fairly easy hike with no steep sections - great for the family. It's a popular spot especially on weekends and summer days, so get there early to avoid the crowds and get a parking spot.
