Hike to and Climb Pickens Nose
From the parking area (fits about 6 cars) follow the trail on the same side of the road up the ridge through dense rhododendron. Several spur trails branch off of the main trail and lead to rock outcroppings with excellent views. Getting to the parking area is slow. The narrow gravel road winds up the mountain and maybe a little washed out with deep ruts that could make traveling with a car d...
Explore Cullasaja Falls
This is an awesome waterfall that offers views from several different spots along the road as well as a quick hike down to the base!
The small pull-off area is located towards the top of the falls. There isn't much space (3 maybe 4 cars at a time), but there are additional pull-off areas further down the road. There are several places from the pull-off where you can snap some pictures or, if yo...
Explore Dry Falls, North Carolina
Dry Falls is located off of Hwy. 64, which has been designated as the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, and the road does not disappoint. Hwy. 64 is a two lane road which hugs the northern side of Cullasaja Gorge, which has been carved by the Cullasaja River. Besides Dry Falls, Hwy. 64 leads you past several other waterfalls: Cullasaja Falls- which is only visible from the road; Quarry Falls- more ...
Hike to Rabun Bald
Starting at the trailhead you begin by following the yellow blazes. The trail isn't well marked so keep an eye out for the blazes you see. The trailhead starts at the dead end of Kelsey Mountain Trail. The path immediately starts to incline and doesn't stop. A few minutes in you will come to a fork in the trail. We chose the right path and that took us straight there. At 0.8 of a mile in you r...
Backpack the Standing Indian Loop on the Appalachian Trail
Begins at the parking lot for the Standing Indian Campground. (No permits are needed to park here) For the first 3.7 miles, take Kimsey Creek Trail, which runs along the water, until you meet up with the AT at Deep Gap. Rolling hills and lots of foliage throughout, leading up to Standing Indian Mountain. Views camping on top of the mountain are incredible, though it gets cold and windy and nigh...
Photograph and Explore Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is located directly off of the road and is about a 100 feet tall in total. The falls makes for a great place to take pictures under the water falls. The falls itself is small and flows constant all year long getting to the bottom of the falls is not recommended because it is dangerous and slippery. You can cross the road to see the falls from the other side of the guard rail b...
