Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming town offers scenic waterfalls and upscale shopping along Main Street. Hike to Whiteside Mountain's dramatic cliffs in the morning when local joggers have it mostly to themselves.

The ride from Franklin, NC to Highlands, NC, Highway-64, is an absolutely amazing drive. Offering ridge line views and multiple waterfalls. Most of the waterfalls are visible from the side of the road. If your a fan of waterfalls, like me, this area has a high concentration of large beautiful waterfalls and is worth the drive.
