Looking Glass Falls, in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, is a 60-foot-tall waterfall that earns its name for resembling a wintertime mirror or looking glass of sunlight as water freezes on its sides and reflects the sun. This popular waterfall is beautiful in all seasons. © Jon Bilous | Dreamstime.com

On Horsepasture River is Rainbow Falls, a staggering 125-foot waterfall wowing visitors year-round because of the sheer volume of water falling from the rock face and into a deep pool below. The wind and large amounts of water create a mist that rises up the hillside, often creating rainbows when the sun is in the right position. © David Carillet | Dreamstime.com
Experience the cold rush of water as you glide down Sliding Rock waterfall near Brevard. This unique waterfall lets you travel across 60 feet of smooth rock before plunging into an 8-foot pool below. © Kevin M. Mccarthy | Dreamstime.com

Take in a series of waterfalls and cascades at Whitewater Falls in Cashiers. Across 3.5 miles of the Whitewater River, the river drops 1,500 feet between the two waterfalls. See these waterfalls by hiking the Foothills Trail or spur trails. Upper Whitewater Falls is the taller of the two and is a whopping 411 feet, making it the highest waterfall east of the Rockies. © Andrii Biletskyi | Dreamstime.com
