I use with book in conjunction with the SNP maps of hiking trails and waterfalls,
and do use the Gazetteer that is referenced.
Directions and trail description are right on, more informative
than what the park service gives you.
I have hiked many of the Waterfalls referenced, and would never
have found some without this Book & Gazetteer.(outside of parks)
I have purchased other books about Waterfalls in VA, and this
is by far the best.
Note-to-self (and others): I just hiked the Rose River Falls
loop that includes the Dark Hollow Falls, in SNP, this past
weekend, 1) "all trailheads that start on SkyLine Drive go downhill",
that means hiking back UP 2) Recommend hiking the loop
in a ClockWise Direction, as when you are hiking back UP the
other side of the loop, you have a beautiful view of the Rose
River and Hogcamp Branch and the many, many cascades of water
over the rocks,as it distracts you from the long hike back up to the parking area. Literally about a mile along the water.

This is a superb book on Waterfalls especially in West Virginia which has the greatest secret treasure of Waterfalls(over 200) in the country!!This is a great book with beautiful photography!!

Recently went a camping trip to Virginia and West Virginia and of course we were looking for waterfalls to photograph. This book not only provided accurate information on all the waterfalls that we visited (about 10 in all) but the hikes were peaceful and full of interesting things. The hikes descriptions are very accurate. As are the photography rating...won't leave home without this!!! I would HIGHLY recommend this books to anyone that is looking for waterfalls.

Very Informative.Will be checking accuracy of directions soon, so can't comment on those yet. Have never had a waterfall book make me smile so much while reading.Kevin Adams adds a wonderful,cynical twist to the directions!

Awesome book... once again (after reading his Waterfalls of North Carolina) a beautifully descriptive guide! Thank You Kevin Adams!

My boyfriend is a "waterfall" buff and has been to every fall in NC..I gave him this book for Xmas and he loved it..It gave info on all the waterfalls in our area and the info on how to get to them..This was a great gift for him..I'd recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors and loves to hike..Now we can explore the Virginia area this summer..He loved the book and I always go to Amazon for all my books anymore...They are great!!

Excellent book with tons of waterfalls. Would prefer having more color photos (some don't have photos at all), but if you're a photographer you can make your own!

Highly recommended for waterfall lovers in the VA and WV region.

This is a very great book to the waterfalls in these to states. I am only 13 and love waterfalls. I have been to only about 20-30 in this book but will go to more. I would also suggest Yellowstone Watewrfalls and Their discovery, Waterfalls of the mid-atlantic states and Michigan Waterfalls. I own all THree and find them very usefull Evan though Yellowstone is a 1,000+ mile drive from Maryland!

Will enjoy planing a trip there to photograph the waterfalls
