"Some of our nation's most beautiful and scenic waterfalls can be found in the rugged Southern Appalachian region from northeast Georgia to western North Carolina and South Carolina. Hundreds of delightful cascades lace this part of the country, from tiny, delicate trickles to thundering torrents. The author has personally selected 150 of these waterfalls from among the hundreds to be found here. Some of these falls require hikes of several miles, while many more require only a short walk or even simply pulling off onto a highway shoulder. Many of these cascades are isolated, drawing relatively few visitors, while many more are easily accessible and draw crowds year round. Whatever your preference, Waterfalls of the Southern Appalachians will help guide you to these wonders of nature. From Amicalola to Whitewter, this guide contains useful text, maps and photos to make your adventure more enjoyable. So by all means pack up the family and head to the mountains. And don't forget to bring your camera." -- back cover.
