Henry SouthworthCullasaja falls is one of my favorite waterfalls in western North Carolina. There isn’t much parking, and the trail is super steep, but the views are beautiful and the waterfall is picture-perfect. The views of the valley behind the falls is amazing, and the road to get there is just as beautiful, with multiple other waterfalls along the road.

Istiaq Firoz ShiamCullasaja Falls is one of North Carolina’s most beautiful and underrated waterfalls. The hike to get a good view can be tough, with steep and narrow paths, but the sight of the rushing water surrounded by forest makes it completely worth it.

Burnzone A.L.So beautiful!!! There are two ways down. One is to hop the rail and hike down the path. The other is to walk over to the scenic area on top of the rocks, and follow the path towards the left. I would say the left path is easier than the hopping the rail. Bring your water shoes. It’s really beautiful to climb across some of the rocks in the water to get a full view of the falls ❤️

LaurenGood luck if you choose to hike down to the base, it is fairly steep! I thought that I'd be able to but it was a bit slippery in spots and while there is rope tied in places, it wasn't in the place I needed. I'll try again another day with some better shoes. Can't really see it when you are driving and there is only a little spot to pull over, so it's easy to miss.

Edie SinclairIn case it is unclear, be aware that these falls are only viewable from turnouts on the road! The drive through this area is beautiful but do not expect to get a spot to view these falls. Nearby, there is the Jackson Hole Gem Mine, which has a small parking lot and provides a good rest stop to regroup. It is the only stop for a while. Going the speed limit through this area is very necessary for both safety and enjoyment of the falls.
