Sightseeing
A definite bucket list item for your visit. Be sure to leave about 30 minutes to walk up the road to Sunset Rock. It's also going to always be 5 to 10 degrees cooler than everywhere else in Highlands.

parking area and walking trail winding through falls flowing
over an overhanging bluff that allows visitors to walk under and remain relatively dry, hence its name.

A local favorite, but far from the larger grocery store experience. Not impressed with the meats. Good wine selection and discounts for cases.

While it's a 20 minute drive, it is a beautiful drive with views of the gorge and valley between Highlands and Cashiers. If you need to load up the fridge for your trip, this is the place to go. Good quality meats. Don't forget to get an Ingle's card on the way in for savings on your bill.
