Winter Hiking Trails
As much as we love the vibrant foliage of the Autumn season in Cashiers, once the leaves finally fall, the expanded view we get of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Wintertime is unlike any other.
This makes the season a perfect time to bundle up and explore the 15 miles of private hiking trails at High Hampton!
While much of nature is resting in the Winter, the protected forests, woodlands and streams that surround High Hampton are filled with local blooms and wildlife that you can spot all year long. As you embark on your hike, keep an eye out for some extra clear views you won’t experience any other time of year.
