road to nowhere

@andrewtburns

An unfinished road where the pavement turns to dirt on the backside of the tunnel. A road that was supposed to give alternative passage to those who lived in Charleston, who’s homes were flooded in the 1940’s during the construction of the Fontana Dam. Which, is now called Fontana Lake. #visitnc #onlyinnorthcarolina #ashevilletrails #visitasheville #brysoncity #scenicnc #lovencsmokies #visitmysmokies #visitncsmokies #celebratingnc #greatsmokymountains #gsmp #wncmountains

Have you heard of Glenn Falls? 🗺️ Located just a few miles from downtown Highlands, Glenn Falls is on the East Fork of Overflow Creek in the scenic Blue Valley area of the Nantahala National Forest. 💦Consisting of three separate waterfalls spread out over along a 400 ft descent, this is one of the bigger waterfalls in the region and a popular tourist attraction during the summer months. 🥾Viewed from overlook platforms along a 2.0 mile round trip hike, visitors can opt to either start at the Lower Falls parking area or Upper Falls Parking area within the Glenn Falls Scenic Area 📸 This is Glenn Falls 2nd waterfall dropping a little over 60 ft. Of all three this was definitely my favorite to view and the best shot of the day! 📍Glenn Falls #waterfall #chasingwaterfalls #waterfallsphotography #waterfallsfordays #the_water_diary #cashiersnc #discoverjacksonnc #visitnorthcarolina #ncwaterfalls #wncmagazine #wncphotographer #wncwaterfalls #total_longexposure #ipulledoverforthis #lofihikingsociety #your_hikes #hikersofinstagram #onlyinnorthcarolina #discovercarolinas #northcarolina #onelove #hiking #nature #adventurers #wildernessculture #hike365
