Glen Falls Parking

"Waking sticks help for this walk as the steps are uneven in places. Good hike to second lookout looking down on falls."

"Nice views of waterfalls and rapids with leaves not on trees yet. One overlook had a good view of mountains in the distance at top of falls. The trail is a bit rugged in places so it is some work going down and back up. If you're young and or in shape you should be good. A lot of tree roots along the paths."

"Beautiful falls situated not far from downtown Highlands NC. Easy trek and well maintained trail part of the Nantahala National Forest. Lots of rocks and tree roots along the trail so be careful cos on the way to falls it slopes down and the way back slopes up so it can be hard both ways but lots of switch backs and stops along the path to view the falls which are great."

"Easy to find and a good amount of parking, this waterfall hiking trail is moderately steep (going down to the bottom of the falls and back up to the parking area), so plan on taking 30 mins (or more) each way and make sure you can handle the steep climb back up. There are wooden steps along the way, but the trip back can be exhaustive, especially if you are short of time and trying to hike quickly. There are 4 platforms areas to view the falls, and they are definitely beautiful and worth the effort."
