October 7, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
This overnight outing offers multiple waterfalls as well as white squirrel photo opportunities in the Brevard, NC and extended areas.
It is CRITICAL that you make accommodation reservations for your stay ASAP as this is the start of Fall color season.
We are going to group waterfalls with suggest paths to follow. These will be only suggestions so that you can go to the falls that you wish. We highly recommend Kevin Adams’ book North Carolina Waterfalls 3rd Edition. Available from Kevin’s website: https://kevin-adams-photography.myshopify.com
