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.

There are few times in photographers’ lives when all the elements are perfect: This image, at Georgia’s Cloudland Canyon State Park, is one, as the peaking autumn foliage framed the scene while sunshine crept close to the edge of the falls to create an unforgettable fall treat.
