Synopsis:

Waterfalls are magical places – places of solitude, of serenity, of subtle power. Surrounding these swirling drops are lush oaks in the summer, resplendent colors in the fall, icy columns in the winter, and wildflowers in the spring. Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge shows you where to find these enchanting jewels. From the Smoky Mountains to the Shenandoah National Park, follow the authors as they guide you to nearly 100 of the best waterfalls on the Blue Ridge. Some are a stones throw from the road while others are more remote. Directions, distance, difficulty, and a brief history of the area accompany each description. So get out of your chair and into the woods. And don’t forget to take your camera; you’ll want to capture plenty of the elusive beauty found around the Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge.

About the Author:

Born in Florida, Nicole Blouin graduated from Appalachian State Univeristy in North Carolina, where she fell in love with the mountains. She wrote her first book, Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge, in the early '90s, and since then has written four other guidebooks, which include mountain biking and road cycling. Presently, she lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and keeps busy with freelance writing, editing work, and managing a rock climbing gym.

A native of Athens, GA, Marilou Wier Bordonaro graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in journalism. Years later, she finally had the opportunity to combine her love of the written word with her love of nature when she collaborated on Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge.

Originally from N.J., Steve Bordonaro leads white-water rafting trips when he has time off from his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Residents of Alpharetta, GA, Marilou and Steve continue to enjoy hiking with their two college-age daughters and discovering new waterfalls.
