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.

Blackwater Falls was my main destination when traveling into northern West Virginia in June.

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.
