Waterfall Adventures in Highlands, NC
With its ancient granite mountains and shadowed hollows, combined with abundant rainfall (Highlands is technically in a rain forest), it’s no surprise that the Highlands has become a national waterfall destination. Some of them are diminutive, little more than a rivulet; some of them are raging, exploding over a cliff face with irresistible force. All of them are beguiling and will charm even the most jaded traveler.
