Restaurants
Sapphire, Cashiers, and Highlands cover much of the western North Carolina area that contains over 200 waterfalls, and it's why we are known as the "Land of Waterfalls"! It is famous not only for the many waterfalls, but also the incredible hiking ranging anywhere from easy to expert level, boasting vistas that will take your breath away and cool forests that are inviting and magical. This page is always under development because we are constantly uncovering new waterfalls in the area, so check back from time to time!
