The end of fall in the mountains spells an end to the tourist season. But what the average visitor doesn’t realize are the many spectacular secrets that the cooler weather reveals. Crystal clear vistas and hidden views, fall and winter around Lake Glenville are a reward for the off season traveler. Once such stunning cold…

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.

Snow day, yay! Glenville is covered in snow. I love snow with a love untainted by ever living where snow was a regular feature. To me it is special, precious, and rare. I know you are thinking that snow is pretty normal in the western North Carolina mountain. But Lake Glenville is in the southern…

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…

First Snow

Posted on January 5, 2014 by maggie1313

  Well, we had our first snow of 2014, a little less than an inch. Woke up to a white world, unexpectedly, but the birds and squirrel still thought they should have breakfast! The sunflower seed feeder was out, so the titmouse and pine siskins were quite insistent that they get fed. I especially enjoy watching…
