The ride from Franklin, NC to Highlands, NC, Highway-64, is an absolutely amazing drive. Offering ridge line views and multiple waterfalls. Most of the waterfalls are visible from the side of the road. If your a fan of waterfalls, like me, this area has a high concentration of large beautiful waterfalls and is worth the drive.
