The latest addition to the Blue Ridge Book Club is Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge by Nicole Blouin, Steve Bordonaro, and Marilou Wier Bordonaro. Waterfalls are magical places – places of solitude, of serenity, of subtle power. This guidebook provides all the information you need to find these moving spectacles of water and gravity. Some are a stone’s throw from the road; others hide in the backcountry. Directions, hike distance and difficulty, and a brief history of the area accompany each description. So get out of your chair and into the woods. And don’t forget your camera: you’ll want to capture the elusive beauty found inside this must-have guidebook.

The latest addition to our book club is Best Easy Day Hikes: Blue Ridge Parkway by Randy Johnson. This spectacular book details all the easy hikes along the entire Parkway, with detailed trail maps, distances, and mileposts. This book is perfect for the novice hiker and families looking for an outing together on the Parkway that can easily meet the needs of everyone in your party from young to old.
