Rainbow Falls is a gorgeous plunge waterfall at the end of a difficult 2.2-mile trail, which requires about a mile of traveling along the Jones Gap Trail to get to.
This shot was from the bridge just down from the Jones Gap State Park Visitor's Center. 
The Jones Gap Trail is not particularly easy, being more rock than soil. 
Just beyond my first resting spot, these steps led up to the continuation of the trail. 
This purple iris was part of a group of new blooms along the trail. 
This little one, possibly an eastern tiger swallowtail, was kind of enough to sit still for a picture. 
This young fern was another sign that spring was underway. 
At the base of the plunge, the waterfall breaks apart and then rejoins into a few channels. 
Rainbow Falls itself drops from a high bluff. 
The fall becomes a series of cascades around the side of the viewing boulder. 
These buds lent a splash of red to the proceedings.
