This one won’t win any awards, but if you catch it at the right time—after a good rain—it’s quite photogenic. It’s draped in rhododendron and would look really good when blooming. Plus, it’s right beside the road and easy to see.
A tenth of a mile farther up the road is a nice cascading waterfall on Cooper Creek. It might be worth a glimpse if you're already here, but the view from the road is poor and this is private property so you can't leave the road right-of-way.
