An escape from the world at large.

You stand at the edge of the lush Nantahala National Forest. At first, the silence overwhelms. Then you begin to hear the faint sounds of a waterfall nearby. A bed of pine needles cushions your every step, encouraging you to explore. Something wonderful is beginning to happen. The white noise of the city is receding far away, and taking with it your worries and cares. Welcome to Garnet Ridge Preserve.
