Winter in Southwest Virginia

Patsy Ingle Phillips shares images she took in February 2012 after a snow storm in Southwest Virginia.
Engine Falls is off of Sams Branch in the Pisgah National Forest. This branch is very similar to Flat Laurel Creek though a much smaller version. It is a series of cascades that traverse towards Hwy 215 near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The photograph taken of Engine Falls is just one of many cascades on this branch. The name is given from the history behind this location. The trail towards the cascades is actually an old railroad grade and engines would stop here to get water for their steam engines. Hence the name Engine Falls.
