English Falls, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina
Shoutout to my buddy Tommy White for getting out with me last weekend for some much needed time chasing fall color in the High Country. We had no intention really of visiting this particular waterfall, but as we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and some fog/rain appeared we figured why not. Unfortunately the fog didn’t stick around for us, but it was still totally worth the climb down. Note I didn’t say hike…it’s a climb. I’m sure some have done it without ropes, but I wouldn’t advise it. Tommy brought 2 sections of rope...and luckily there was another section left behind by someone else we could use near the bottom. The secret is certainly out on this one, but I hope folks tread lightly. It's an extremely special spot. Treat it with care...and if you even think twice about not being fit enough to do it, don't. It's dangerous. I was about to name the photo 'sacrifice'...cause you're surely to get bruised, skin a knee, shin, elbow, something (which I did). I'm not sure my image really does this place justice...I was a bit overwhelmed by it to be honest.
Anyway...hope everyone's having a great weekend!
