No question my #waterfallwednesday had to be one last look at Little Bradley Falls. It was storybook-gorgeous in the late afternoon light. I can’t recommend it enough! * * * #ncwaterfalls #northcarolinaoutdoors #westernnc #westernncmountains #waterfalls #waterfallphotography #hiking #hikingadventures #hikenorthcarolina #hikenc #igersnc #northcarolinaliving #blueridgemoments #blueridgeoutdoors #visitnc #beautifulnorthcarolina #naturalnorthcarolina #northcarolinamountains #takeahike

This weekend, I returned to my beloved Jackson County and explored nature and waterfalls with my partner-in-crime, aquanautica . We had a great time exploring and celebrating two years together. I could live here for the rest of my life and have truly fallen in love with the area. Do you blame me with scenery like this? . . . . #glenfalls #visithighlandsnc #nantahala #nantahalanationalforest #highlandsnc #waterfall #blueridgemountains #visitnc#ourstatemag #blueridgeoutdoors#itsamazingoutthere#myblueridge #blueridgecountry #828isgreat #norcak#findyourpark#usinterior #recreationgov#ashevilletrails #visitasheville#livewithoutlimits#teamcanon#adventurephotographer #hiking#wbtvandme#huffpostgram#gooutsideandplay
