Naming this waterfall should be easy for anyone familiar with popular waterfalls in the Southeastern US, so you also have to name the river and the park. The river has five waterfalls (that I know of) on this stretch, but the largest (multiple drops) is rarely visited because it's a challenge getting to it and the entire thing can't be seen from any land-based vantage point. For extra points name all five waterfalls starting from upstream, but you at least have to name this one along with the river and the park:

For extra points name all five waterfalls starting from upstream, I'm not entirely sure of the order (but I'm deep into bonus points) so how about Drift Falls, Turtleback Falls, Rainbow Falls, Stairway Falls, and Windy Falls? I'm not at all sure of Drift Falls, but I needed five, so I tossed it in.

I'm not at all sure of Drift Falls, but I needed five, so I tossed it in. You have the five in order, so all you need is the river. The access trail to these falls is in Gorges State Park but the falls are in Pisgah National Forest. The first time I visited this place you could park by the side of the road and scramble down to Drift Falls, which some daredevils risked sliding down for fun. Now Drift Falls is on private property and the access trail in Gorges SP takes you to a point in the river below Rainbow Falls. Hike uphill to Rainbow, then Turtleback. You can get a decent view of Drift, but not a good picture unless you go past the ugly no trespassing signs & cable.

I'm avoiding saying anything more because, if I count right, my next photo will be the 100th one I've posted in this thread. So it's real tough finding good photos.

Then it's open for anyone to post the next photo by naming the river, which should be easy given the name & location of the falls are already given.
