Whiteside Mountain
ハイキングトレイル
強度
1.9 mi

A classic hike between Highlands and Cashiers with far-reaching views over NC, SC, and GA.
Whiteside Mountain is arguably the most popular overlook hike along the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. With views extending as far as South Carolina and Georgia, this hike wanders along the edge of 1,500' granite cliffs lined with fencing, rails, and informational placards.
While family-friendly as a whole, parents should keep close watch over younger children due to the height of the cliffs. While the trail is listed as dog-friendly, on a busier day, you may opt to keep yours at home for the same reasons listed above.
The hike is best enjoyed clockwise, which begins with a steady walk up an old gravel road, then returning along the cliff. A carving at the mountain's highest point is an excellent place to snag a photo, just remember to look up and enjoy the view!
There is a small parking fee to enjoy Whiteside, so plan to bring cash. There is also cell reception at the trailhead, so don't worry about being out of reach from work or family if that is important to you. Written by Brendon Voelker
