The Bald River is a favorite after the has been a heavy rain or when it has frozen. You can see it from road or park and hike a short distance to the top. One of my favorite places to go for a relaxing hike and beautiful waterfall.

On a trip to see fall leaves, I learned about the Cherohala Skyway and how high above sea level this scenic drive goes. Since where I was staying had mostly green trees, I took the drive. The Cherohala Skyway has a bunch of scenic overlooks in both Tennessee and North Carolina. I recommend checking out as many overlooks as you possibly can. Each view is different from each overlook. If you take the drive during fall, you get to see all stages of fall during the 50 miles on the Cherohala Skyway. I’ll definitely be back on the Cherohala Skyway when I’m in town.

This is an adorable farm with plenty of furry friends to pet, hold, feed, and snuggle. Sheen was so kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My son (6) was shy and nervous but he had the time of his life. We got to pet all the animals - goats, mini horses, dogs, pigs, bunnies, a chicken, and a duck! There are so many interesting breeds of chickens to look at and learn about here. My son said his favorite part was holding and petting the baby goats and bunnies. We did a 1.5 hour private tour and it was interesting and fun every minute.

That quote is from my six year old son. It was so relaxing to have a little snack by the river and watch kayakers go by. And even more fun to splash along the edges and collect river-worn rocks, all surrounded by the beautiful Cherokee forest. Very short distance from Bald River Falls which is an impressive waterfall, and some great steep trails around.

The road in is a little rough, but manageable. There are pull offs on the road sides that allow passing on the one lane. People that don't know how to drive mountain roads need to avoid this drive or piggyback with an experienced driver. Not for the faint of heart. TURN RIGHT AT THE FORK. Once you arrive at the trail head, try to park like you have sense. Don't hod the lot, it isn't large. The trail is a couple of downhill switchbacks, lots of roots and rocks so be careful. Good shoes or boots are recommended. Leave the cooler in the car and take a bottle of water instead. It's a good haul out. Ok, summary. The trip to the trail head is a lot of fun to drive with some pucker factor. Take your time, enjoy the drive. The trail is well maintained and you can catch a few great views through the trees. Keep going until you are below the falls, the first access is not the falls access. Keep going to the stone steps. The falls are beautiful. The rocks can be slick, but that is to be expected. Take your time and enjoy what God has hidden for those that seek it. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take your trash out. I will pick up trash on a trail all day, but i draw a line at diapers and old clothes. If you can't respect the place and leave it as found or better than you find it, don't go. My wife, my 2 daughters, (9 & 15), and myself had very little problem making this trip.
