Lately we have been blessed to have some really nice spring like days, while others have been typical February cold days. Monday was a lovely day so with both hubby and I being off we decided to enjoy it. So we borrowed my dad's Jeep and we went driving in the mountains...we ended up in Highlands,NC which is a really cute place.. we ate at "The Pizza Place" and got a pizza to share... it was delicious! There was an ice cream place we were told was the best... but it was closed for the winter season...so we walked around the town.. and then went to check out some of the local water falls!
So first we came to "Bridal Veil Falls" which was very cool to see it was right on the side of the road... you can even drive underneath the falls, but due to the snow pile they had road blocks on both sides of the fall... but it was was still cool!
Next was "Dry Falls" I know kinda ironic name for a water fall... but very pretty! They also had a path where you could walk down to the fall and behind it... but that path was also closed... due to "Ice" but I was still able to manage a photo from a viewing spot.
The next fall was not "photoed" but did have a rather funny name " Bust your Butt Falls" so as we continued down the curvy mountain roads...
We came to Cullasaja Falls... which was amazing!! So worth finding a small place to stand behind the guard rail to take the photo... Its very tricky to get a shot of this water fall because as you see above... its a curvy mountain road...not much room for a pull off area... there was a tiny strip of asphalt that barely fits a jeep..and very very uneven pavement... but my awesome amazing hubby managed to stop for me...Thank goodness we were in a jeep!!!
We stopped at this place it had a cute mountain view...
but it was a lovely day and we had a wonderful time... I recommend going to Highlands and also checking out the cool waterfalls (they are all very close to town... 2-9miles away)
Anyways Thanks for reading!!
Beautiful pictures - looks like you had a great time!
