The Curry Gap/Bald Mountain Trail starts out as one of the most boring trails ever.  For the first mile and a half, the trail follows an old roadbed, gradually but steadily climbing upwards with nothing to see but trees on both sides.  Beginning with Bottleneck Falls, however, the trail passes three small volume, but very pretty waterfalls in the next .7 miles.  These three waterfalls combined with the easy hike, make this a great family-friendly hike, particularly in the spring when the creeks have more water.  On my one trip to the area I forgot my memory card so the only pictures I have are cell phone pix.  I'll be back next year for sure though.

Bald Eagle Falls is both the tallest, and the highest volume of the three waterfalls along the trail, dropping a total of 218' down a cliff of horizontally layered bedrock.  The first tier drops 153' with a bottom tier of 64' in height.
