Moore Cove Falls is a picturesque 50-foot waterfall located just off the Pisgah Highway in western North Carolina. A short, easy 0.7-mile round-trip hike leads visitors through lush forest to the gently cascading falls. Unique for its shallow rock overhang, Moore Cove allows hikers to walk behind the curtain of water for a memorable Blue Ridge experience.

Looking Glass Falls is one of the most accessible and photographed waterfalls along the Pisgah Highway in western North Carolina. Plunging about 60 feet into a clear pool below, the falls are visible from the roadside, with stairs leading to the base. Its name comes from nearby Looking Glass Rock, which gleams like ice in winter.
