From the Smoky Mountains to the Shenandoah National Park, follow the authors as they guide you to nearly 100 of the best waterfalls on the Blue Ridge.

Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge: A Hiking Guide to the Cascades of the Blue Ridge Mountains by Nicole Blouin (Menasha Ridge Press 2003) (917.55). The author is very selective in limiting this book to her hundred favorite waterfalls and cascades in the Blue Ridge. From the Great Smokies to Shenandoah National Park, she provides detailed instructions for locating the falls including directions, distance, and difficulty involved for visits to each waterfall. My rating: 7/10, finished 2004.
