Neil Regan captures the beauty and awe of one of nature’s most unique features in a comprehensive guide of waterfalls in western North Carolina.
The waterfalls included in the guide range from 12 to more than 600 feet in height and are located along trails in the state’s parks and forests. For each waterfall, Regan provides a detailed description of the waterfall and surrounding park, as well as directions to the site and approximate trail lengths. He also includes a rating system for waterfall beauty and trail difficulty, although no waterfall is given less than a 5.
The guide is organized by location, with 10 chapters spanning 12 counties and 65 waterfalls. Regan’s thorough accounts of each distinct waterfall compliment the beautiful photographs, which the author took himself. Whether an experienced hiker and nature expert or a novice adventurer, readers can use Regan’s “Great Waterfalls of North Carolina” to explore some of the state’s most unique and awe-inspiring natural wonders.
