The road climbs out of town and into the Blue Ridge—ridges folding like pages of an old atlas, and the forest begins to speak: small streams rehearsing the next drop, rocks slick with early-season moss. Within an hour the forest closes in and the air smells sharp and green; by the time you step onto the trail, the waterfalls are already announcing themselves, daring you closer with the hush of falling water.
