Glen Falls Trail is a 2.4 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Highlands, North Carolina that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate. Hiking down is fairly easy, however, back out we would rate as strenuous due to steepness and the many roots that line the trail. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round.
