We had a chance to visit some waterfalls near Asheville, North Carolina during a family visit in August 2013. The scenery there is great and it was good that there was a lot of rain this summer so the falls were running high. I love visiting this area and hope to make it back there in the near future.
Day trip to look for Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids in nearby, DuPont State Forest near Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. Although we were just a bit late for the best of the Large Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids, we did find a few that were still holding on. We had much better luck with the Small Yellow Lady's-slipper orchids. We also made a side trip for Aplectrum hyemale or Puttyroot orchid, and we found a few pretty good ones.
To check out the full trip report, please go to Jim's Blog.
The falls take a wide, ever-steepening slide over granite, and the water generally stays on the rock the whole way down

This little orchid (Spiranthes lacera var. gracilis) was blooming at DuPont State Forest near Brevard, NC, where it grows in dry, sunny habitats in company with Liatris spicata and Shrankia microphylla.

HIGHLANDS NC: DU PONT STATE FOREST: BRIDAL VEIL FALLS: US 64: These gents are standing on Old US 64 and beneath the 120' high falls.
One man is filling an empty water bottle as his friend heads for a safer spot. A few years ago a huge boulder fell from the top of the falls and crashed onto the asphalt road closing 64 for quite a while. Eventually, the state rerouted the two-lane road over to the spot where I am standing.
I'm not so sure that I would drink that water.
