THE COVER

Fall Creek Falls Recreational Demonstration Area, near Pikeville, Tennessee, derives its name from the spectacular plunge made by Fall Creek to the floor of a canyon having sheer rock walls which rise 300 feet. The vertical fall is 256 feet, 89 feet higher than Niagara. Rockhouse and Caney Creek Falls are other interesting features of the 16,000-acre area. The drawing is by Ira B. Lykes.
