Waterfalls December 2018

I think I saw a post on Facebook about waterfalls along US 64 in Macon County. There were four in a row between Franklin and Highlands. I thought they would be a good expedition for us. Despite iffy weather we set out Sunday afternoon. We made a grand loop from Asheville to Franklin, down to Highlands, then across to Cashiers, Brevard and back home. It was about 5 hours all together.

We came to Cullasaja Falls first. It was tempting to try to make the descent to the water, but it was very steep and wet. We aborted after making it about 1/3 the way down.

Bust Your Butt Falls was very full. Nobody was interested in trying to get in the water here.

The path behind Dry Falls was closed "for falling rock danger" and indeed there was a lot of water rushing past making one wonder if parts of the overhang might break off.

Bridal Veil Falls was last. I think I was here as a child. The driveway behind the falls is closed but we could walk back there.
