Dry Falls, Highlands, NC If you love outdoor activities or hiking, you definitely shouldn’t miss this place. The waterfall and its surrounding scenery blend together naturally and beautifully, creating a breathtaking, almost fairy-tale-like landscape. I’ve even seen someone get engaged here before. The only downside is the distance. Other than that, there are basically no flaws. It takes at least a 3–4 hour drive to get here (and for some places, it can be even farther).
