Our fourth annual RomanticAsheville.com "Giving Calendar" featured gorgeous waterfalls throughout the region of Western North Carolina. 100% of the proceeds went to conserving land and water resources in our Blue Ridge Mountains and foothills. Enjoy photography by Kevin Adams, author of the best-selling book "North Carolina Waterfalls."
