Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born in Florida, Nicole Blouin graduated from Appalachian State Univeristy in North Carolina, where she fell in love with the mountains. She wrote her first book, Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge, in the early '90s, and since then has written four other guidebooks, which include mountain biking and road cycling. Presently, she lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and keeps busy with freelance writing, editing work, and managing a rock climbing gym.

A native of Athens, GA, Marilou Wier Bordonaro graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in journalism. Years later, she finally had the opportunity to combine her love of the written word with her love of nature when she collaborated on Waterfalls of the Blue Ridge.

Originally from N.J., Steve Bordonaro leads white-water rafting trips when he has time off from his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Residents of Alpharetta, GA, Marilou and Steve continue to enjoy hiking with their two college-age daughters and discovering new waterfalls.
