This is the slide portion of Bridal Veil Falls on the Little River below the upper cataract falls. Hiking to the upper falls is on the granite just left of this view.

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.

DuPont State Recreational Forest is a 10,000 acre (40 km²) tract, located in Henderson and Transylvania counties of North Carolina. The name originates from the fact that the DuPont company arranged the sale of the original tract to the state. Adjacent tracts have since been purchased and added to the state forest.
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.
