The best waterfall we saw the entire trip was probably Laurel Fork Falls. The waterfall was on the Laurel Fork River about 30 miles or so after Roan Mountain (I think). Like many of the other spectacular sites on the trail it came with a cost - a very steep/rocky hike down, but obviously well worth it. Not only were the falls nice, but the river was a godsend because we were in desperate need of a bath (it had been about 5 days). There was also a great shelter with a nice spring located high up on a rocky area close the falls.
