As I mentioned in my last post, we had two destinations in mind during our brief stop in Cherokee, NC (three, really, but we couldn't fit in Soco Falls.) The first was Mingus Mill. The second, Mingo Falls. Located just north of Cherokee off Big Cove Road, Mingo Falls is one of those hidden treasures worth visiting while in the area. It's also an amazingly short walk from the parking lot, if you don't mind a few steps.
During our visit, we encountered a few people who couldn't handle the steps (between 130 and 150), which was unfortunate. At the top, visitors need only walk a short distance to the bridge that offers a spectacular view of Mingo Falls.

It was a refreshing stop that made for a good workout during our visit to Cherokee.
Beautiful pictures and enjoyed reading about the trip.

Thank you, Miss Ann. It's such a beautiful, peaceful place, and well worth climbing the steps to get there.

ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in posting, Kathy. The notice got lost in my inbox. Thank you! It's a gorgeous spot, and not far from the parking lot if visitors will just persevere with the steps.
