Caesars Head State Park
"If you’re a first-time visitor to Caesars Head you should definitely see the main overlook. Even a visitor that has been to the overlook a hundred times should see the main overlook, because It is different every day. The cloud cover, the birds you see or even the humidity that day all play a role in what you might see. I never get tired of that view!"

Looking Glass Falls
One of the country’s most-viewed falls located in the Pisgah Forrest of North Carolina, Looking Glass Falls is 35 feet wide and drops 65 feet. It was named for the reflective layer of ice that forms on Looking Glass Rock during the winter. You can see it from the observation deck or you can walk to its base. "Absolutely incredible falls without the long walk! There's a lookout where you can pull over and look at it. There's also stairs where you can get a closer look, but the lookout gives a pretty grand view by itself, if you're unable to climb the stairs." https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g49442-d2036652-Reviews-Looking_Glass_Falls-Pisgah_Forest_North_Carolina.html
