This was my fourth year attending a Dragon event and my first time touring the areas around the Dragon. I've only processed 15 of the 400+ photographs I took, and will add more as I finish more.

From 5,380 feet off Cherhola


Bald River Falls - off a beautifully scened service road off Cherhola


The falls are over 100 feet high, and you can climb above them.


Another shot from Cherhola - around 3,500 feet


From the Foothills around 2,500 feet



EDIT: Scroll way down for many more photos.

 

Beautiful photos. I had hoped to get to those same falls this trip, but it didn't work out. Now I definitely have to go see them!

 

Cascade Falls - a little trail next to the Ranger Station on 28 (about 6 miles into the Hellbender from Fontana Village). The falls are maybe half a mile in.

 

If you take a left to continue up the Wolf Trail, instead of turning right to go to Cascade Falls you'll cross various bridges like this:


And the river looks like this the whole way!


Nearing Sundown at Fontana Dam (more to come)

 

those are some amazing shots, Alex

 

I wish I had bugeted my time better to do this. Maybe next time. I have a few I will post when I can have photoshop digest them.

What equipment are you using poindexter?

Postcard perfect! Nice shots.

 

Great pics Alex - what are the settings on the waterfall one? (#2 in first post)
