The quickly flowing waters of Beaverdam Creek with a cool, green, spring woodland backdrop. Beaverdam Creek flows around Backbone Rock, a 75 foot high, 22 foot thick outcrop of Holston mountain. It is in the Cherokee National Forest, just a little ways north of Shady Valley, Tennessee. We saw many a trout fisherman trying their luck in Beaverdam Creek!
The dwarf-crested Iris is a true harbinger of spring in the Blue Ridge mountains.
The forceful flow of the Cheat River displayed in majestic fashion at the High Falls. A treat for riding to the end of the "New Tygart Flyer" on the Greenbrier & Durbin Valley Railroad!
