Hello and happy Sunday. This, again, is Dry Falls near Highlands, NC. It is also named Big Cullasaja Falls. This is the view you'll get after you park and walk to the landing. That's all the effort you have to make for this view. You'll still oooh and aaahhh over it. You may even get a sense of how wonderful this earth is and how we need to take care of it for ourselves and those we love (if you didn't know that already). And this view may be all you need to satisfy your curiosity. But, if you're like me, you need more. Good thing there's more adventurous people like me out there that have a bigger curiosity and want to get closer because a path has been cleared and wonderful steps and strong rails have been put in place for me and others like me to walk safely to the Falls and explore before, behind and beyond the Falls. They have also put in some seating areas in case I get tired. I'm sure you have already guessed that there's no way anyone in a wheel chair would get to the bottom, but I did see a few determined people with canes making their way slowly down the steps and then up again. It's nice to see the human spirit triumphing over pain and disability to get closer to that which God has created for all of us and trusts us to enjoy, use wisely and protect.
There are other waterfalls you can see along Highway 64 on the way to or after Dry Falls. Bridal Veil Falls is less than a mile away and on the Highway and you can actually drive behind it - that is, if other people aren't standing in your way. Also, the smaller Cullasaja Falls are on Highway 64 and there are areas where two or three cars can pull safely to the side of the road for viewing and picture taking. Highway 64 is one winding mountain road that is really worth the drive/ride.
I hope you have a sensational Sunday and that you enjoy some nature today. Thanks for looking. See you tomorrow.
