Parks & Nature
Sunset Rock is an ideal choice for a late afternoon stroll in the Highlands area. A short 1/2-hour walk, approximately 0.6 miles one way, leads to a natural cliff side amphitheater where slabs of granite provide front row seats. Beautiful sunsets can be seen over Highlands and Brushy Face Mountain to the west and the vista of Horse Cove to the east (Sunrise Rock) is worth the walk at any time of the day.

One of my favorite restaurants in western NC. The food is first rate, especially their soups and fresh farm ingredients. There are many choices on the menu to suit anyone's taste. Reservations are a must and you will not be disappointed. The converted farm house has a great outdoor area for the kids to run while. The restaurant also has a nice selection of wines. The staff is pleasant and professional.
