More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned transfer into humid mountain air, the sound of water tightening into a rush ahead. Mayfield Falls opens like a secluded backyard Jacuzzi—dozens of small pools threaded by clear, cool mountain streams, capped by short cascades and a famously tumbling feature locals call the "Washing Machine." The ride here winds through low ridges and farming communities; later, Polaris-style side-by-sides climb loose gravel tracks and open into wide views over green valleys.
