We search all around for some of the best videos from trekkers, kayakers, families, influencers, and even NatGeo and PBS to provide a
page of great videos to plan your trip!
The places I visit include Sunset Rock, Bridal Veil Falls, Dry Falls, Glen Falls, Botanical Gardens, Nature Center, Downtown Primary Restaurant, Quarry Falls, Jackson Hole Gem, Highlander Mountain House & The Ruffed Grouse Tavern, Whiteside Mountain, Mountain Theatre Company, Highlands Wine Shoppe.
Sunset Rock is extremely close to downtown Highlands, NC, and offers the best and the most mystic view from the top after it rains. Considering Highlands is in a high-elevation area in the Appalachian mountains (relative to the state), you'll get to see very unique attributes from its climate.
My wife and I took a fun camping trip to Highlands, North Carolina for our first vlog together.
What to do in Cashiers North Carolina! Hiking trails, Waterfalls and More! These guys mis-pronounce a few of our local gorges and towns but they cover quite a bit of territory and is a good video!
There are a LOT of trees in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and they’re responsible for that dreamy blue haze on the horizon.

A two-lane highway called Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, which is the combined route of U.S. 64 and NC 28, runs through the Cullasaja Gorge. It is mostly protected as part of the Nantahala National Forest. The U.S. Forest Service has designated this as a National Scenic Byway because of the river and its numerous waterfalls, including:
- Bridal Veil Falls, on a tributary creek
- Dry Falls, which visitors can walk behind without getting wet
-Quarry Falls, also known as Bust-Yer-Butt Falls
-Cullasaja Falls, the major cascade of falls
