After eating and walking through Franklin we were off to see all the beautiful waterfalls. Western North Carolina is full of creeks, rivers and these gorgeous waterfalls. I swear they are around every corner. All the waterfalls we visited were between Franklin and Highlands and they were all right off the road. The pictures just don't do them justice, but we can always try!
Cullasaja Falls
This first waterfall was literally right off the road and there was no space to really pull off to look at it. It was probably the most beautiful too! We were able to squeeze into this one little spot on the side of the road for a quick picture before we had to keep moving.

Dry Falls
The second waterfall we visited was Dry Falls. This waterfall was really cool. They have a great parking area and a very nice trail down to the falls. The name of this waterfall accurately describes the falls because you can walk behind the water and stay dry.....well mostly! The girls really enjoyed walking around the rocks and going "under" the waterfall. It was also beautiful to look at!

Had to have a picture of me and the girls standing under the falls too!
The next waterfall was Bridal Veil Falls. They had the signs for all of the waterfalls and I didn't think to start taking pictures until the last one! Way to go Miss Photographer.....oh well!
This waterfall was cool too! You could drive under it. I ran across the street to get pics of everyone driving under the bridal veil!

After visiting 3 of the falls we decided it would take too long to see the others and get back in time for fireworks that evening....so we stopped off in Highlands, NC and drove by this amazing view. Of course I had to stop and get some pictures. I could sit and stare at this all day!!!
And I don't think I am the only one!!

Downtown Highlands, NC. It was a very cute little town. The brick building to the left is a SPA. Hint...hint!
Just thought it was cool. You don't see very many Jeep trucks.
This was one of the old cars that was in the 4th of July parade from earlier in the day. I just thought it was cool and had to stop and take a picture!
So if you know me, you know I like to take pictures of barns! This barn and the view behind it was amazing. I wasn't able to capture what I saw though! I was so disappointed! There was no good place to pull off on the side of the road! It was nothing but a huge hill! I just know if I could get to the top of that hill and look down this would be an AWESOME shot. Oh well, better luck next time!!
