Wilderness Falls Loop in Panthertown

Posted on April 9, 2018February 5, 2022 by Katie

Late winter/early spring in the mountains is a wildly varying time of year with highs in the 80s and freak snowstorms. One pleasantly warm day we went for a hike with my mom up in Panthertown. Panthertown is a lovely piece of National Forest land straddling the border of Jackson and Transylvania counties. Called by…

DuPont State Recreational Forest

Posted on February 16, 2018February 5, 2022 by Katie

When I was a kid, we went out to the old DuPont property on Cedar Mountain for a picnic. Earlier that day they were filming the movie The Last of the Mohicans, and there were still pieces of the set around. It would be many years before I came back. The DuPont Corporation sold the…

High Falls

Posted on February 1, 2018February 5, 2022 by Katie

The closest hike to the cabins is High Falls on the north side of Lake Glenville. It is also my favorite hike in the Cashiers / Glenville area, taking you down to a stunning box canyon with a double drop waterfall. The lakeside entrance to the waterfall was put in only a few years ago…

Grimshawes Historic Post Office

Posted on January 28, 2018December 12, 2018 by Katie

The rugged mountains of western North Carolina slowed the settlement of the region, but by the late 1800s it was starting to bustle. The town of Glenville was actually the largest in Jackson County in 1891. Cashiers and Highlands were also growing as desirable escapes from the lowland heat. In fact at one point there…

Frozen Waterfalls of Cashiers and Highlands

Posted on January 6, 2018February 5, 2022 by Katie

While the NC mountains are colder than most of the south, the weather is still pretty mild in comparison with the rest of the country. So when temps drop to the single digits, we hunker down, let our faucets drip, and dream of summer. But there is one perk to the extreme cold: frozen waterfalls….

Yellow Branch Falls

Posted on December 1, 2017December 12, 2018 by Katie

Yellow Branch is a gorgeous South Carolina waterfall about 50 minutes from our cabins by Lake Glenville, near the town of Walhalla. The distinctive stacked ledges of this waterfall jut out like oversized toadstools and break up the flowing stream into delicate, frothy spills. The hike to Yellow Branch Falls is 1.5 miles each way….

Station Cove Falls

Posted on November 24, 2017February 5, 2022 by Katie

Station Cove Falls is about 50 minutes from our cabins by Lake Glenville. The South Carolina waterfalls are noticeably different from their North Carolina neighbors (see Yellow Branch Falls and Kings Creek Falls). The lacy waters trickle down layer cake rocks on this 60 foot high waterfall. Its hard to keep perspective on a just…

Glen Falls, Highlands, NC

Posted on March 25, 2015April 17, 2020 by Katie

A Short Hike to A Pretty Waterfall On a hot day last summer, Mike and I took a short jaunt down the Glen Falls Hike, at the end of Glen Falls Road of Highway 106 in Highlands. It is a bit steep with many steps. We didn’t hike the full trail which is over a…

Fall Color Drive

Posted on October 16, 2014April 17, 2020 by Katie

Fall is my favorite season here in the mountains of North Carolina. The weather is usually crisp and dry with skies as blue as lapis. Once the leaves start to turn, the colors change almost overnight. On Monday, the leaves were green, and by Friday they had almost all begun their transformation. Brilliant yellow, vibrant…
