Overview

Escape into the beauty of Western North Carolina on this full-day private mountain adventure featuring waterfalls, charming towns, scenic overlooks, and natural treasures.

Departing Asheville, your day begins with a scenic drive to the historic Jackson County Courthouse in Sylva for panoramic mountain views.

From there, we’ll head towards Highlands, stopping at Cliffside Lake for an optional easy stroll. Nature takes centre stage at Dry Falls, where guests can walk behind a roaring waterfall, followed by iconic Bridal Veil Falls.

Guests will have time for lunch and exploring Highlands before continuing through the Pisgah region towards Brevard, known for its white squirrels.

The adventure continues with Pisgah Visitor Centre, an easy visit to Looking Glass Falls, and an optional sweet treat at Dolly’s Dairy Bar before returning to Asheville.
