Fall Color 2016

In Mid-October of 2016, I was in Western NC for a hike to Big Falls with some friends but with the fall color erupting all around, I made a detour to the Blue Ridge Parkway and NC215 to enjoy the view. The first pic isn’t from the BRP but it has some great reds and it happens to be my favorite pic from this trip. I tossed a few in from French Broad Falls as well since I finally have some good pictures of that one. First time in four years I managed to be in the mountains at the right time!
