Welcome to Waterfall Adventurer
Greetings, my name is Christopher. In 2013, I saw my very first waterfall, which was Soco Falls in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. I became mesmerized with watching the water tumble across each ledge as it made its journey down to the base. There was a euphoric, yet tranquil feeling as if everything around me just faded away and I forgot about all of my troubles. Now it's turned into an obsession to find and visit as many waterfalls as possible, be it known or undocumented. I love visiting waterfalls that very few people have seen, even if I have to crawl under trees, bushwhack through thick rhododendron, be belly deep in freezing cold water or have to use a rope to get down to it.
Along my adventures of chasing waterfalls, I learned a few skills. Such as photography, so I could capture beautiful photos of the waterfalls that I was seeing and to be able to share them with others. The ability to know how to properly use a GPS to locate an off-trail waterfall and get myself back to the vehicle. And the most valuable skill that I learned was how to use LiDAR to locate waterfalls at a higher accuracy, so I could go out searching for a waterfall and have an almost guaranteed chance at finding one.
I created Waterfall Adventurer with the primary goal of housing one of the most detailed lists of waterfalls in the southeast and to help others in finding these beautiful places that I've seen, so they too can experience the feeling that I felt for themselves. A place where you can see beautiful photos and find detailed up-to-date information, including GPS coordinates and GPS tracks to help with the more harder to reach places. I'll mostly be focused on South Carolina at first as it's my native state, but will slowly work my way out to the surrounding states and beyond.
