Review:
Highlands is a mountain resort town located along the southern border of North Carolina near scenic Highway 64.
This town is so popular that during the summer its population grows by more than 600% on average, and one day in Highlands will tell you exactly why.
The town itself is full of activity, from restaurants and shopping to galleries and the arts.
The surrounding beauty of Nantahala National Forest offers hiking trails through peaceful woods and past waterfalls that are simply picture perfect, and fishing enthusiasts will find trout in the area’s many rivers.
