Carolina Mountain Club - WC100 challenge - 100 waterfall and cascades : THE WC100 IS COMPLETE! On October 30, 2010, Mel and I hiked to the waterfall on the Tributary of Laurel Fork. The hike wasn't as bad as anticipated. At the end of the hike, we both though that Dismal Falls was slightly tougher. Water volume is low due to the prolonged drought during the summer of 2010. However, western NC received a good dose of rain earlier in the week, which had to help water flows. If you are attempting the WC-100 and need information, please do not hesitate to contact us! ---- WC100 - Waterfall Cascades 100 challenge, is sponsored by Carolina Mountain Club. It is a list of 100 waterfalls and Cascades in NC, SC and TN. This gallery features the waterfalls on the WC-100 list, sorted by date of visit. Waterfall photography is tricky and conditions are fickle. You can visit a waterfall several times and find significantly different conditions. Some of the photos were taken in terrible light conditions, others were taken during dry spells where the flow is less than impressive. On the other hand, some of these photos were taken when the waterfall was looking its best! Many of these waterfalls have been visited several times, thus, we had to chose only one photo to represent a particular waterfall! IMPORTANT WATERFALL SAFETY! THE TERRAIN AND ROCKS AROUND WATERFALLS ARE SLIPPERY AND A FALL MAY RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE! EVERY YEAR THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES AROUND THESE WATERFALLS! Some of the photos here are taken from precarious spots. When photographing, we will use ropes and safety devices. Another reason not to trample around the waterfalls is that some of the surrounding slopes contain rare plants and are extremely prone to erosion! These photos span a period of 5+ years and 5 cameras (cameras used include Canon Rebel T1i, Sony W-300, Sony N-2, Sony W-100, Sony P-70)! The photos in the beginning of the gallery were taken with the DSLR camera, but even some of the photos taken with the point and shoot turned out great! All of these photos are available in high resolution and without watermark. Please contact me for more information!
