DuPont State Forest
I was finally able to get off an "ok" shot of this waterfall after waiting around for about 5 hours for the crowds to go away. I ended up hiking out in the dark. For anyone who has ever been here you know its a pretty good hike back to the parking lot from the bottom of the falls.
I was sure I wasn't the only one left in the park - until after about halfway back I hadn't seen or heard anyone. When I got back to the parking lot my car was the only one there. I'm not sure if there's bears in the area but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried about running into one.
Leaves are off the trees and on the trail now. The forest won't be as colorful, but with the leafless trees also comes the ability to see through for long distances. It's never a bad time to take a hike. See more at Internet Brothers Hiking Logs and Gallery.
This popular waterfall has appeared in the blockbuster movie the Hunger Games and have been photographed many times so it can be a challenge finding a unique perspective on the waterfall. I was walking along the rocks and noticed the stream of leaves that flow to the waterfall.

Quick day trip to the DuPont State Forest, Transylvania County, near Cedar Mountain, North Carolina. We went with the expectation of seeing Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens or Large Yellow Lady's-slipper orchid, but we saw much more...

In preparation for a field trip to DuPont State Forest (Transylvania County, North Carolina) later in the week with some out-of-state friends, I decided to go up there to scout out the area, a bit. I ended up finding a good variety of wildflowers to photograph -- some of which had already finished blooming in South Carolina.
