Our North Carolina (Our ...) (ISBN 0896586618)

NC at its best - beautiful vistas, fantastic photography:
Enjoy mountain vistas along Blue Ridge Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains, a dawn's early light of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, gaze at the Whitewater Falls, highest waterfall of the East of 411 feet, and be awed by 5,000 pipes of the Duke University Chapel's organ. If you are an avid hiker, you will be delighted with the jagged crest of Grandfather Trail on Grandfather Mountain. Or a whitewater rafter will enjoy the photography of Nantahala River with its Class I, II, and III rapids plus many more nature lover spots. History buffs will love the photographs of George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore House, largest private home-four acres in size, in Asheville; the Oconaluftee Indian Village; and, The Elizabeth II Sir Walter Raleigh's vessel that he used in his voyage to the New World. Many more historical photographs are included. In addition you will also find lovely photographs of wildlife, flowers and many other interesting landmarks.
