Kevin Adams, Local Author of North Carolina Waterfalls to Speak at Pack Memorial Library

(Asheville, N.C.) The Southern Appalachian Mountains host a preponderance of waterfalls created from the range’s combination of unique geology and abundant precipitation. Finding some of the hidden gems of the waterfall world requires careful investigation and sorting through myths, broken internet links and misinformation. Dirt roads, goat trails and treacherous treks obscure these natural wonders from the public gaze.

On Tuesday, September 27, 2016, Kevin Adams will hold a presentation about Waterfalls in WNC. The presentation begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Lord Auditorium at Pack Memorial Library, 67 Haywood St. Asheville, N.C. The event is free and open to the public and is part of Buncombe County Recreation Services’ effort to promote outdoor activities and recreation among citizens of all ages.

Adams has established a well-known reputation as a photographer, naturalist, writer and teacher. The presentation will include highlights of over 250 of the best waterfalls found in North Carolina.

Adams’ presentation comes on the heels of his latest book, North Carolina Waterfalls, which was released in its third edition earlier this summer. Adams’ book provides a comprehensive source of waterfall information and offers readers verified and ground-truthed details on the falls. Adams visited each of the waterfalls in his book in preparation for its release allowing him to offer first hand details of each experience. Adams has also assessed each of the waterfalls for photographic opportunities making his work stand out from other guidebooks on the market.

Those attending the lecture will be able to learn from Adams’ first-hand experience in make the treks to these falls and gain insight into the art and science of waterfall photography.

Adams’ books, map and other products will be available for purchase.

This event is brought to you by Buncombe County Recreation Services and Diamond Brand Outfitters.
