I have a three day trip planned for October to the Black Mountain, NC area. I would appreciate suggestions on great photo options such as water falls, etc. I will be staying in the Pisgah National Forest. This was a last minute opportunity and now trying to plan photo opportunities.
Thanks
Goodness. Where to start? This link to Our State (Internet site of the magazine and public TV show of the same name) is as good as any.

The area within an hour’s drive is full of waterfalls, wineries, scenic views, trails, and more.
I grew up in Greenville, SC. The Asheville area (20 minutes from Black Mountain) is 45 minutes from my old neighborhood, so winding mountain roads were the driving training grounds I explored.
I love the area. My son is in the Honors College of Stage and Screen at Western Carolina University, so we visit him and the area a few times a year.
The area (roughly) from Black Mountain to Sylva, and from Greenville to Boone, includes lots of theatre, music, wine, food, fishing and boating, pottery and art, ski slopes, state and national parks, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, Hendersonville, Table Rock, Flat Rock Playhouse, Caesar’s Head, Grandfather Mountain, Highlands, Cashiers, Brevard, Lake Lure, Maggie Valley... You could drive around for months and never see it all.
