WATERFALLS
North Carolina is riddled full of gorgeous waterfalls, all of them worth seeing, I'm sure.
Bridal Veil Falls -- a small waterfall by the side of the road with some parking.
Bust Your Butt Falls -- a small waterfall on the road from Franklin to Highlands.
Cullasaja Falls and River Gorge -- beautiful drive west on Highway 64 from Highlands to Franklin, NC. Take a lunch and enjoy the ride.
Dry Falls — easy access from paved parking lot. You can walk behind this waterfall!
Glen Falls — has a moderate hike with elevation changes and tree roots to step over
Secret Falls — bumpy unpaved road and an easy 1/2 mile hike. Extremely secluded.
Silver Run Falls -- between Highlands and Cashiers, has only 5 parking spots. Hike, swim, but no facilities.
Sliding Rock -- in the Pisgah Forest. Go early and slide down this rock! Entrance fee.
Whitewater Falls -- paved 1/4 mile trail to this very tall waterfall. Has facilities. Entrance fee.
