Hickory Nut Falls

Take a leisurely 1.5-mile roundtrip hike to see one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River, the stunning 404-foot cascade at Chimney Rock State Park. The trail leads you to a platform at the base of the falls, where you can take in the dramatic views—this spot even made an appearance in The Last of the Mohicans. It's especially jaw-dropping after a good rain when the waterfall is at its most powerful. A must-see for nature lovers and movie buffs alike!
