Pools & Peaks: A Photo Essay Submitted by Our Readers

Stone Mountain State Park, NC features a huge granite dome about 600 feet tall. This view is from the trail to the summit of Stone Mountain. The BRP forms the north-side border for the mountain.

Come the warmest months, we have tendency to seek out the coolest spots, and in this part of the country that means mountaintops and waterfalls. Let’s visit a few.

In our July/August 2015 issue, we asked a few of our photographer friends to help us with our photo essay for summer swimming holes. They certainly didn’t disappoint! Here are just a few of the images from the group, including a couple extras that didn’t fit in print. Be sure to see the rest in our digital issue!
