Beautiful Triple Falls near Brevard, NC

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…

Smallest US Post Office in Cashiers NC

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…

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…

The Barns of Cullowhee Mountain

Posted on March 29, 2014April 18, 2020 by maggie1313

Although the Glenville and Cashiers, NC areas are a tourist destination, some local residents still farm and raise cattle. Today I photographed some of the barns (mostly abandoned) on Cullowhee Mountain Road. This road goes from Lake Glenville down to Speedwell and Cullowhee, home of Western Carolina University. NC barn architecture is quite varied. Some…

Posted on January 15, 2014April 18, 2020 by Katie

This week, Mike and I hiked Whiteside Mountain. It is a gorgeous hike along the ridge of a exposed rock face that overlooks parts of North and South Carolina. It is one of my favorite hikes for bringing my visitors, and it is only about 15 minutes from home. I have only done this hike…

Hiking at High Falls

Posted on January 8, 2014 by Katie

   Difficulty Level ★ ★  High Falls is a spectacular waterfall located in box canyon below Lake Glenville. Until just recently, it was only accessible through private land. Duke Energy recently did a ton of work to create a public trail down to this stunning natural wonder. Part of the reason was to open up…

Five Things to Love About Winter

Posted on January 6, 2014 by Katie

It is easy to hate winter. It is dark. It is cold. It seems to last twice as long as it should. When the nights start getting longer, and the cold settles in, an extra hour or two of television in the evening and an extra inch on the waistline seem reasonable. We all start…

Hi There!

Posted on January 3, 2014February 7, 2014 by Katie

My name is Katie. I recently moved to Lake Glenville in North Carolina. I grew up in these mountains, but I have been living out in Washington state for the past several years. It is a bit of a culture shock coming back to the South, but at the same time this area will always…
