Cullasaja River Gorge
Franklin/Highlands NC

As the name implies, this is a deep canyon created by the Cullasaja River. US-64 has been carefully cut out of the north wall and follows the river all the way to Franklin. Three major waterfalls grace the route: Bridal Veil Falls followed by Dry Falls and, finally, Cullasaja Falls. Cascading about 250 feet it is a fitting climax to the trio. It is not very visible from the highway and there is no designated parking area. But there is an extended wide spot which is well used. The trail to the base of the falls is steep and rocky. And remember, you have to climb back up again. The Cullasaja gorge is between Highlands and Franklin on US-64 which, though very curvy and narrow, is bi-directional and can accommodate up to medium size recreational vehicles if driven with great care. Be prepared for a slow but rewarding ride. Phone: 828-526-3765.
