Description
This rustic barn is just off Highway 64 between Sapphire and Cashiers in North Carolina. The area is popular for vacation homes especially around the town of Highlands nearby.
Transylvania County has over 250 waterfalls, including Upper Whitewater Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Dry Falls. Receiving over 90 inches of rain annually, it is the state's wettest county. The Blue Ridge Parkway traverses parts of the county, and has views of the Appalachian Mountains, which reach over 6,000 feet (1,800 m) elevation in the county.
The Nantahala National Forest established in 1920, is a national forest located in the American state of North Carolina. The word "Nantahala" is a Cherokee word meaning "Land of the Noonday Sun." The name is appropriate as, in some spots, the sun only reaches the floors of the deep gorges of the forest when high overhead at midday. The Spanish Conquistador Hernando de Soto explored the area in 1540, as did William Bartram in the 18th century. The Nantahala River flows through the Nantahala National Forest. During the late 1990's domestic terror suspect Eric Rudolph evaded capture by the FBI and ATF for several years by hiding in extremely remote portions of Nantahala National Forest.
