Blue Ridge October 09


Kerry's new cabin gave great views of the mountains toward the parkway, so off we went and the trees were just beginning to change colors.  As we drove into higher elevations, some mountains were at peak color.  We did mostly mental photography enjoying the colors and sites we've seen and photographed many times before.  Stone Mountain was our first destination. We enjoyed that without photos.  There was a group of Amish from Union Grove, NC.  Next day to Linville Falls.  The walk into the Gorge is listed as Strenuous.  I'd call it treacherous!  Be careful. Take a walking stick for sure.  Hiking boots are a good idea too.




Huge trees line the way as do rhododendron.
 Natalie did so well!  She loves a good walk. The falls are beautiful.




 So Alex, exactly where did you jump from when you were at these falls?

  1. Sorry to say Mom, we took a very crazy path and ended up at a different fall.
    Where I jumped from and into aren't in your pics.

    Love the photos! Wish I could have gone with you. xoxoxox
