Grandfather Mountain Summit Clouds

Grandfather Mountain Summit Clouds

At over 1 mile high on Grandfather Mountain, the clouds float past the top of this mountain. The scenery up here is amazing and there are views in almost every direction. There is a trail that leads to the peak of this mountain top. I imagine the view is even more beautiful up there.

Blue Ridge Waterfall

Blue Ridge Waterfall

During the rain showers we gathered under the canopy of trees so that I could take some pictures. These falls are so high that I could barely fit them into the frame. I am shooting this at 28mm which is pretty wide. These waterfalls are 150 feet high and are fed from a mountain spring just above us on the mountain ridge. That is why they are called falling springs waterfalls.
