Soak in some of North Carolina’s beautiful outdoors with treks through the wilderness. Visit Triple Falls, a beautiful three-tiered waterfall in the Brevard region. This waterfall was even used as the filming location for the movie, ‘Last of the Mohicans’. Or trek to Saluda and go abseiling down Big Bradley Falls, a towering 200 feet tall waterfall. That combined with the thirty feet rock face you need to scale down first, Big Bradley Falls is a thrill ride like no other. If you’d rather something less daunting, try abseiling at Little Bradley Falls, also in Saluda. Standing at seventy feet tall, it is a good option for beginners.
Take your time to explore North Carolina’s many beautiful beaches on your trip. Go for a cruise down Highway 12 with your car rental and take in the beautiful scenery of the highway that is flanked on either side by the ocean. Visit the Outer Banks, a collection of barrier islands with open-sea beaches, parks and more. While at the Outer Banks, keep your eyes peeled for sightings of wild horses. Like a scene straight out a movie, witness the wild horses frolicking by the sea.
North Carolina isn’t just about nature. Home to a lively shopping scene, tour around the state to find interesting souvenirs or a good deal on international brands. Drop by The Sleepy Poet Antiques, an emporium better described as a giant garage sale. Scour through the many aisles of antique furniture and knick-knacks to find a unique piece to bring home. Also drop by SouthPark Mall a well-known, upscale mall in Charlotte. With its wide range of stores that feature high-end international and local brands, you are sure to be spoilt for choice!
North Carolina is beautiful and can be a wonder to drive through. But do keep in mind not to let your eyes wander away from the road. Traffic may be unpredictable at times so it is important to always be alert when behind the wheel. Take care and don’t be afraid to explore be it on a road trip or just a cruise through town. There’s just so much waiting to be discovered.
