Short Trip to Highlands, NC

For those who do not know, Highlands, NC is on the far western tip of North Carolina about 126 miles from our home in Cleveland, TN. It sits on a mountain platau about 20 miles north of where the states of SC and GA come together with NC.

The 4100 ft elevation keeps it cool in the summer, while other areas swelter in the heat!
