Summary: If you liked last year's edition, you'll love this year's
Review: The second edition of The Waterfalls of South Carolina includes improved photos, additional waterfalls, GPS coordinates, updated directions, and a little about the photographers.As a contributor to the book, of course I am biased...but, I think you'll really love the 2001 edition. I do. Thanks, PCF, for making this book a reality!

Summary: Never knew SC had so many beautiful Falls!
Review: This book was immensely helpful in finding SC waterfalls, picking easy ones to see and filtering out those too difficult for a casual walk. It has gorgeous photos and great shooting tips. The summaries of the falls and surrounding nature were generally accurate and helpful. The book has 2 weaknesses. Maps need to be better drawn; they omit or abort some roads. Maps are not always "North is Up", so we sometimes got confused comparing them to regular road maps. 2nd weakness: it needs more detailed info on the difficulty of access. "Easy" ones were certainly easy, but one "moderate" just about killed me. :) There was really no calibration in the book to note what the the authors meant by the difficulty levels. They should also use a "fudge factor" to better estimate hike in/out times for casual hikers. Overall it's a wonderful book that led me to waterfalls I never even knew existed. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in exploring the incredible beauty upstate SC offers. 4.5 stars.
