Brink of the Falls

A view just a few yards upstream from the first falls overlook. Just to the left but not visible is the brink of the fall closest to the Virginia shoreline; it is also perhaps the highest single drop at Great Falls. This scene is from the day of a snowstorm that coated the cliffs in a rare cover of ice and snow.
