The Majestic View Of Highlands, North Carolina | After It Rains From Sunset Rock

Описание: Sunset Rock is extremely close to downtown Highlands, NC, and offers the best and the most mystic view from the top after it rains. Considering Highlands is in a high-elevation area in the Appalachian mountains (relative to the state), you'll get to see very unique attributes from its climate.

Even though you're able to drive up sunset rock, we hiked since we didn't want to miss a good hike if it had one, and we didn't even know till we got to the top. Either way, the summit view was the very best of our trip to the Highlands. (4 hiking trails). Unfortunately, the trail didn't have any landmarks and was more like a residential gravel road rather than a nature hike. The area where you're able to park is right next to the summit.

Highlands is an incorporated town in Macon County in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Located on a plateau in the southern Appalachian Mountains, within the Nantahala National Forest, it lies mostly in southeastern Macon County and slightly in southwestern Jackson County, in the Highlands and Cashiers Townships, respectively. The permanent population was 1,014 at the 2020 census.[4]

Highlands has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cfb), with cool winters and warm summers. Highlands experiences notably cooler weather than the rest of the American South; this cooling is caused by its altitude. Astride the Eastern Continental Divide, at just over 4,100 ft (1,200 m), the town's elevation contributes to its relatively cool summers and abundant rainfall, averaging 87.57 inches (2,224 mm) per year. Average snowfall is 13 inches (33 cm), largely due to the fact that Highlands is further south and east in the Appalachian Mountains. In 2013 Highlands received 106 inches of rainfall. Areas of similar elevation on the northwest side of the Appalachian region, such as Banner Elk, are not as protected from periodic blasts of Arctic air and receive more substantial snowfall. Highlands is one of the very rare locations at this latitude that has an average high of 78 °F or 26 °C in July, far lower than the rest of the American South.
