Sunset Rock is an easy 1.2 round trip hike that’s a stones-throw from downtown Highlands. At its summits, it offers breathtaking views of the sunset over Highlands and Brushy Face and the pastoral grandeur of Horse Cove. To locate the trail, take Main Street east from the intersection of Highways 28 and 64 a half-mile to the Highlands Nature Center. Park here and follow the sign indicating a gravel road to Sunset Rock and Ravenel Park.

Best view of Highlands! Parking at the bottom of the trail, take a bottle of wine and some cheese up about an hour before sunset. Memories will be made!

Very popular hike (7/10ths mile) to the top of a ridgeline that overlooks the entire Town of Highlands and provides a sweeping vista of the Appalachians. Sunset is beautiful from here! You can park at the trailhead across the street from the Highlands Biological Center (the Nature Center).

Sunset Rock is an ideal choice for a late afternoon stroll in the Highlands area. A short 1/2-hour walk, approximately 0.6 miles one way, leads to a natural cliff side amphitheater where slabs of granite provide front row seats. Beautiful sunsets can be seen over Highlands and Brushy Face Mountain to the west and the vista of Horse Cove to the east (Sunrise Rock) is worth the walk at any time of the day.

Easily accessible on foot from cottage or town. Great panoramic view of Highlands. A local favorite all times of the day.
