I had heard Jumping Off Rock had been closed due to Peregrine falcons nesting, but didn't know a new viewing area had opened up until JC posted an article. This morning seemed like a good time to do it - the light is better and this section of Horsepasture Rd will close again for the season in a couple more weeks. I must say I like the new viewing area better than the other even though the views are similar. This is much safer also. This view looks SW into Oconee County. For a good article about Jumping Off Rock, copy and paste this URL -

Directions are to the old viewing area, this one is a very short distance before it and is signed.
