Waterfalls of Virginia and West Virginia: A Hiking and Photography Guide

Book had many dog eared pages and notes written throughout several sections

Excellent book with tons of waterfalls. Would prefer having more color photos (some don't have photos at all), but if you're a photographer you can make your own! Highly recommended for waterfall lovers in the VA and WV region.

I use with book in conjunction with the SNP maps of hiking trails and waterfalls, and do use the Gazetteer that is referenced. Directions and trail description are right on, more informative than what the park service gives you. I have hiked many of the Waterfalls referenced, and would never have found some without this Book & Gazetteer.(outside of parks) I have purchased other books about Waterfalls in VA, and this is by far the best. Note-to-self (and others): I just hiked the Rose River Falls loop that includes the Dark Hollow Falls, in SNP, this past weekend, 1) "all trailheads that start on SkyLine Drive go downhill", that means hiking back UP 2) Recommend hiking the loop in a ClockWise Direction, as when you are hiking back UP the other side of the loop, you have a beautiful view of the Rose River and Hogcamp Branch and the many, many cascades of water over the rocks,as it distracts you from the long hike back up to the parking area. Literally about a mile along the water.

This is a very great book to the waterfalls in these to states. I am only 13 and love waterfalls. I have been to only about 20-30 in this book but will go to more. I would also suggest Yellowstone Watewrfalls and Their discovery, Waterfalls of the mid-atlantic states and Michigan Waterfalls. I own all THree and find them very usefull Evan though Yellowstone is a 1,000+ mile drive from Maryland!

This is a superb book on Waterfalls especially in West Virginia which has the greatest secret treasure of Waterfalls(over 200) in the country!!This is a great book with beautiful photography!!
