Cullasaja Falls

This impressive, multi-streamed cascade has a roadside view, but accessing it can be dangerous. US Hwy. 64 has cliffs on both sides and is narrow and curvy here. There is one small pulloff just downstream of the falls, but it's only reachable when traveling away from them. Be careful!
