My best fall outing in 2016 came on October 20. The season had been a let down for the most part due to the extremely warm and dry conditions most of the summer and fall. I had an aggressive plan this year primarily based on the dates of some of my favorite photos from …

2016 has been the year of Kevin Adams, here in our NC Mountains! He has released a new, much anticipated and updated edition of his iconic “North Carolina Waterfalls” book. He has spent a good part of his summer making appearances at various western NC locations promoting his book and giving his waterfall and photography …
I recently made a change to my job that allows for some periodic traveling. One of the huge benefits to this has been the opportunity to see waterfalls outside of my home region. My recent trip over the last week in August took me to New Jersey. The first thing that comes to most people’s …
King Creek Falls was the main waterfall I was here to see on this late February afternoon. I made a full day of it though, stopping along the way at White Owl Falls, and Spoonauger Falls. Both Falls had impressive waterflows. It was a dreary, cloudy day. It had all the makings of an epic …
I first visited Spoonauger Falls in late February 2016. It was an overcast day, with lots of rain falling in the days prior to my hike. I was in this area to make a return visit to King Creek Falls. My 1st visit was over 2 years ago, and I wanted to return under better …
I’ve wanted to visit Blackwater Falls….for years now. The problem is that it has always been “just out of reach”.

I had a big day planned for this late January 2016 weekend. The Waterfalls of Brasstown Falls were to be my primary destination. Any other waterfall destination I could find myself at would just be a bonus. Brasstown Falls is over 4 hours away for me. I picked a small town in northern Georgia, Clayton to …
It was a late January Sunday afternoon. We had just spent 1-2 hours exploring each waterfall at Brasstown Falls. It had already been a great day, and a great weekend as well. I had spent time the previous day in NE Georgia seeing waterfalls, and had seen some waterfalls the same day before Brasstown. I could …
Brasstown Falls is a unique setting of 4 very cool, interesting, beautiful and different waterfalls located very close to one another. 3 of them are on Brasstown Creek and 1 is just upstream on the feeder stream Little Brasstown Creek. Brasstown Falls was the destination for one of my trips to South Carolina in 2014, …
Station Cove Falls is a beautiful 60 foot set of cascades that starts as one drop and then splits into two. The group and I, after completing the primary hike to Sids Falls on Shoulder Bone Branch, had enough energy and daylight for 1 more waterfall. There wasn’t much time left on these short days when …
