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 …
It was a family Sunday in early July. One of Kristin’s favorite areas in the Blue Ridge Mountains is in southern Virginia. Following the Blue Ridge Parkway from the Fancy Gap area to some attractions near Meadows of Dan, Va always makes a nice half day trip. It’s a short drive for us, and a …
I’ve wanted to visit Blackwater Falls….for years now. The problem is that it has always been “just out of reach”. I reside in central NC, and I make trips into central and southern West Virginia several times a year. Northern West Virginia doubles the 2 1/2 hour ride I normally set aside for West Virginia …
I haven’t been to DuPont State Forest in several years now. It is a great place, with some wonderful waterfalls. These waterfalls are some of the very early ones visited that really planted the “Waterfall Chasing” seed in me. However, due to its ease of access, numerous trails, numerous waterfalls varying in size and shape, …
Blackwater Falls was my main destination when traveling into northern West Virginia in June. I had ideas further south, closer to home, but due to the devastating floods that central West Virginia was suffering, I had to either alter my destination or go home. I had no idea how serious the floods were until I …

Lee Falls, in NW South Carolina was once called the most scenic waterfall in Oconee County. I have seen quite a few waterfalls in this very large county. I am not certain that it was the most scenic, but it sure was very nice. It’s a very nice 1.5 mile one way hike that is …

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 …
