AL> Overnight in the Sipsey

What's the best ( biggest) waterfall in the Sipsey?

It would be hard to pick a "best". The upper White Creek Falls is good, so is Eagle Creek Falls, Deer Skull Falls, Caney Creek Falls, Mize Mill Falls, and Parker Cascades. Kinlock Falls is probably one of the biggest and definitely the easiest to get to but is just not as pretty as some of the others I mentioned.

Well I'm looking for one that my gf and I can hike to within a day, and one I could propose to her at. Any ideas?

I'm going to test some folks knowledge of Bankhead this is Sow Creek Falls.[AIMG]image.jpg[/AIMG]
You should get lots of opinions of the biggest waterfall in Bankhead ? Then you got Sipsey Wilderness falls then you got the tallest falls ? Then it depends on the rain and water flow which will make up the biggest fall?

Caney! Easy to get to! Go the extra mile and take her to the lower falls. My 2 cents

Thanks! I will pull it up on my map and look at it.

so question, i haven't been to sipsi since my teenage years (think 20 years or so). how well are the trails marked?

Here is one of the signs on the trail:

LOL! Not al of the signs are that bad but it's a wilderness area so it doesn't have the types of signs like GSMNP or areas like that. But there are usually small signs at the trail crossings letting you know which is which.

I agree with bankheadboy. He is a lot more of a Sipsey expert than I am and has probably seen a lot more of the falls than me. 2nd choice would probably be Mize Mill Falls just because it is a pretty flat trail and has a lot to see on the way.
