best roadside waterfalls in western NC/smokies?
Hello,
For those of you who have travelled through western NC and the smokies, what are the most scenic roadside falls you saw that require little or no hiking? And also that are easily accessible, ie. paved roads? I've heard of a few on US route 64, any more? I don't know if whitewater falls has an overlook or requires a short hike. Thanks for any info! |

Laurel Falls is an easy hike, fairly popular, and so photogenic that a picture someone took of me there looks like a studio picture. We hiked there once with a 2-year-old. cheers, Marj -- Marj Tiefert: http://www.mindspring.com/~mtiefert/ Marj's Mini Mall & Eclectic Schoolhouse: http://stores.tiefert.com/ Tiefert Family vacations: http://www.tiefert.org/family/ |

I'm always leery of bests, but two I really enjoyed were Whitewater Falls in North Carolina just north of the South Carolina border, and Lookinglass Falls just south of the Cradle of Forestry inthe Pisgah National Forest. Whitewater Falls has an overlook, but does require a bit of a walk (if you are in a wheelchair I believe that could be accomodated.) Same with Lookinglass. Of course the South Carolina Whitewater falls did require a bit of a hike, and indeed we did not go (mostly for other reasons, like not really finding the sterting place) WE have a travelogue of our visit to North Carolina on our tRavel Web page in my sig, below.
