[@tanishanicole9718]

OMG this hikes are beautiful. The views are so worth it. Sunset rock! Holy Jesus..nature is amazing. That dessert shop is the gem of the whole trip tho!

[@BeHereTravel]

Imagine taking one of those desserts onto Sunset Rock. #Mindblown ;)

Love the Highlands- Cashiers area !

[@BeHereTravel]

We loved it too :)

[@susanwillmore754]

@@BeHereTravel also love your videos on Jupiter Fla ! ( live in florida but have a place in the mountains of NC )

[@BeHereTravel]

@@susanwillmore754 Thank you. Jupiter, FL and FL Keys were my 1st episodes. So far I've covered 4 states. My channel is still very young.

[@selecttravelvacations7472]

These are great. Wish I had seen these before visiting this past week. I would escape there forever if I could. Thanks for the uploads.

[@BeHereTravel]

I can't blame you. Highlands is one of my favorite places. Thats why I make all of these videos, to help people find hidden gems that they may not have known about.

[@mattmarkus4868]

My mom had a cottage here when I was a kid and we'd spend summers there. They never used to have safety rope at white side, it was scary!. The rhododendron forests were magical to play in and I fished for trout literally every day. What great memories.

[@BeHereTravel]

That does sound great 😀

[@happyhypie6843]

Highlands will always be so special to me. I spent two weeks every summer in the late 80’s with my grandparents at their summer home up there. I still go and visit every couple of years and it is still so magical. 🏔❤️

[@BeHereTravel]

I couldn't agree more. That's why I made the Waterfalls episode for Highlands aswell 👍

[@CC12398]

Such a fairyland of a place to spend your childhood vacations! I love it there

[@notsoscarystories4439]

I love this video, and the info / links in the description are very useful. Thank you.

[@turnerthomas5627]

It has honey porcott pizza at venys very very great white mountain too.

[@BeHereTravel]

Indeed Highlands has a lot to offer

[@ziggysmom5646]

❤️ Highlands!

[@BeHereTravel]

So do I 😁

[@cindi_7242]

What location is the outro from the video? I loved your video, we’re heading there in March so we’re trying to plan our trip!!

[@BeHereTravel]

This link will show you. Lmk if this location is what you were referring to. g.co/kgs/zLP1v6S BTW, be sure to watch my Hoghlands Waterfall video, that'll help your trip too 😉

[@AW-ue1fc]

Highlands burrito formerly pescados is definitely the best place to eat in highlands.

[@BeHereTravel]

I'll have to try that next time, thx 😊

[@jangraf2371]

What cabin did you stay in.

[@BeHereTravel]

My family has had a cabin there since the 1920s

[@asformeandmyhouse4463]

@@BeHereTravel do they rent it out?

[@JanieP53]

How long of a hike is it to get to sunset rock??

[@BeHereTravel]

@JanieP53 Less than 30 minutes from the bottom. It's a very light hike

[@renosevangelakis]

perfect video :)

[@BeHereTravel]

Oh well, thank you. I really appreciate that. I'll be dropping another Highlands video in a couple days.

[@brendawood6712]

You should show more of town than hiking trail!

[@BeHereTravel]

Well, I made the 2nd video featuring all the waterfalls, but I only had so much time in town on that day of filming. The 2 restaurants and a quick drive through was the best we could do at the time.

[@elvin2374]

I used to live in highlands beautiful but very expensive

[@BeHereTravel]

True, but fortunately there's alot of things to do there for free. Most of the things we did in the 2 Highlands videos were free. 👍

[@AW-ue1fc]

That was a buzzard at whiteside.

[@carolclay7082]

Nice. As someone who lives here....the next time you come, if you don't want to sound like a tourist, the neighboring town of Cashiers is pronounced Cash-ers. Not Cash-ears.

[@BeHereTravel]

Trust me, every where I go the locals always have at least a couple different ways to pronounce certain things. I've been visiting Highlands since I was a little boy and I've definitely heard multiple pronunciations for allot of things. I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying that when you travel as much as I do it's hard to get everything 100% correct. Thank you though 👍

[@carolclay7082]

@@BeHereTravel - That wasn't a judgement....just trying to be helpful We always know when someone isn't from around here when they say Cash-ears.

[@BeHereTravel]

@@carolclay7082 I didn't take it as a judgement. I'm simply explaining things from my pov. A person can only do so much research about a place before they go to film there and pronunciation can be very different every where you go. You're not the first to correct my pronunciation of a place and you won't be the last. It happens and it's to late for me to correct it on the video. I appreciate your insight on the subject matter though 👍

[@zeincexxx1285]

How dangerous are hiking tours regarding wild animals? Is it rather a rare sight? I imagine they are avoiding people?

[@BeHereTravel]

@zeincexxx1285 I've never seen a dangerous wild animal on the hikes I've done in Highlands. Black Bears are around, but they do avoid people, and they definitely avoid dogs. As long as you stick to the hikes where other people are nearby, you'll be fine.

[@zeincexxx1285]

@@BeHereTravel thx for the answer, looking forward to visit some national parks & forests in the US.

@zeincexxx1285 I have plenty of hiking videos for Georgia as well if you want to see those too 😀

Sign: Please dont feed the horses. Be Here: Here buddy is some yummy grass.

[@BeHereTravel]

I had permission from the owner. We had been friends for years.

[@outquick]

Ive worked up here for like 20 years, rich ppl with a great view n extremely expensive unusable land. Trust me u cant afford to live here, but Piscatos is the best place to get lunch for sure! But if you're like me and love riding sport bikes and could give two fucks about a speed limit definitely go around this area because we got the best twistiest roads in the country! Check Crappy Franklin for better prices, or skip this small town crap n hit Greenville SC. Or Asheville NC if u a dirty hippy.

[@standunitedorfall1863]

Sign on pasture fence says "Please do not feed the horses". The videographers blithely ignore the sign in front of them, and feed the horses anyway thinking they know better. (Without care, concern, or consideration.)

[@BeHereTravel]

Or maybe I know the owner of the of horse personally and they gave me permission. Don't jump to conclusions please :)

[@laurawilkinson2679]

Where are the horses located? I'd just like to go visit them (no feeding!)

[@susanflakes6968]

You can disguise yourself like Sherlock...

[@BeHereTravel]

Huh?

[@rogerdownes9823]

Hey man… I like your video. Very cool! However, I grew up raising horses and you should never feed someone else’s horse without the permission, especially when there is a sign on the fence you are reaching through that asks you not to. You seem like a nice guy so I am going to assume you asked for permission before doing that. Horse owners are very fond of their herds and get very offended when someone does not respect their wishes. For instance if my father had caught you feeding our horses (even grass) your visit would have ended very unpleasantly. Again I am assuming you had permission but if not, I would suggest seeking it before acting no matter how kind your act may seem. A lot of people just want to make the horse happy but feeding them the wrong or too much of one thing can cause them to die (literally). Not trying to be rude to you at all. Just letting you know since you showed a sign on the fence that asked you not to feed them but you were anyway.

[@BeHereTravel]

My family and the horse owners family have know each other since before I was born. Yes I had permission.

[@standunitedorfall1863]

I agree. Horses can get colic, and die. Or get foundered which makes them permanently lame.
