I finally got to Chimney Rock this fall. It was at its peak color! This is the view from the Opera Box. You can see Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge area for miles and miles.

View from The Pinnacle at Pilot Mountain. You can see miles and miles of the Piedmont area of North Carolina.

Just visited the place for the first time this week. A great little trip! Right now it’s peak color.

Autumn is early this year in North Carolina! If you want to see the mountains in color, make your plans earlier.

This is Graveyard Fields on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week. (There’s a waterfall in the shadows, in the middle of the image.)

This is Looking Glass Rock, a view from the Blue Ridge Parkway in autumn.

This slideshow is of my mountains gallery. Hope you enjoy!

The North Carolina High Country. North Carolina’s oldest travel attraction… has drawn visitors since the late 1800′s.

Craggy Gardens on the Parkway – In the fall, the Craggies turn red with a wonderful show of mountain ash berries that can cast redish tones over the entire area.

Foreground – Mountain Ash Berries

View from the top of Mount Mitchell. They have a great new observation place!
