Lake Lure

Lake Lure & Chimney Rock is here! As seen by my Pentax k10D. My Canon stayed home since I wanted to see what my Pentax can do and I like what it does.

Chimney Rock Park is the natural fulfillment of your trip to the mountains. Take a deep breath of refreshing mountain air, become invigorated by our hiking trails, and let your cares fade away in the cool mists of Hickory Nut Falls.

Added a brief waterfall quest in Transylvania Co, NC as well. There are over 1500 waterfalls in NC so I will need many trips to record even the easy to find ones.

Looking Glass Falls

Only about 60-80 steps to climb down and back up for this view of Looking Glass Falls

One of the most visited waterfalls in North Carolina is Looking Glass Falls, located along US 276 north of Brevard, near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The name "Looking Glass" comes from Looking Glass Rock, where water freezes on its sides in the winter and then glistens in the sunlight like a mirror or looking glass.
