The Waterfall Byway Along the Cullasaja River Gorge - By rtcoker

The Cullasaja Gorge is a beautiful ride between Franklin, NC and Highlands, NC. The road is very twisty and on a week day can be a fun ride. It can be VERY crowded, especially on weekends. The gorge and waterfalls are spectacular. there are a few places to pull over and take photos. But that is the danger. Many cars park and kids running around, into the roadway. This road was repaved in 2015 or 16 and is very nice now. Highlands is a great little town to stop and eat lunch. Buck's coffee is my favorite spot for great coffee and sandwichs.
