On Labor Day, my wife and I decided to make the ~1 mile hike up Whiteside Mountain in NC, one of our favorite short hikes with a nice view. When we got to the top, we were totally socked in with fog - but after a few minutes, the clouds lifted enough to reveal the landscape below.
A little more snow and a slightly different angle and Whiteside would look like a giant snowball at Crummock water !!

Whiteside Mountain between Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina with Holly Berry Mountain Lake in foreground. Whiteside Cove Road, Highlands, NC.
Road runs right beside the lake, just pull off and shoot away. Put this one on your bucket list of fall shooting.
Directions: Coming from Highlands - Take Horse Cove Road out of downtown Highland. Turn Left on Whiteside Cove Road. Lake will be on your left. If you stay on Whiteside Cove Road you will pass the Little Church in the Wildwood and Sliding Rock Falls. You will come out on Hwy 107 south of Cashiers around the High Hampton.
A loaded BNSF coal train reaches the top of the grade going past the pre-Civil War tunnel. It is all downhill from here into Chattanooga.

A clearing storm departs the Highlands, NC area last weekend. Whiteside mountain takes on a dramatic appearance in the morning sunrise. I took this shot from the comfort of the back deck of my friend's mountain house.

An evening photo from Whiteside Hill near Romanno Bridge, Peeblesshire. Looking north towards West Linton and the Pentland Hills.
The weather was very changeable, with periods of heavy rain interspersed by very short sunny periods. The soaking I got was made bearable by the short spells of stunning light.

Fun time today shooting from the summit of Whitesides Mountain. Randomly ran into Scott Hotaling, one of my flickr contacts on the mountain. Check out his awesome stream here:
A landmark along the Eastern Continental Divide, Whiteside Mountain rises to an elevation of 4,930 feet. The mountain’s cliffs look like sheets of ice draped across the mountain. This magnificent rock is more than 390 million years old.
Prior to the Seventh Cherokee Treaty of 1819, the mountain was part of the Cherokee Nation. During the mid-1800s, the state of North Carolina issued more than 20 separate land grants to early settlers along the eastern slope of Whiteside.
In the early 1900s, the land became part of the enormous estate of the Ravenel family, who summered in the Highlands area. Later, a private corporation bought the land and used it as a tourist attraction. Shuttle buses carried people to the mountain’s peak over a road built for this purpose.
In 1947, the mountain was purchased for its timber and logged. The U.S. Forest Service then acquired the land in the 1970s, and it became part of the Nantahala National Forest.
At first glance, this appears to be the all-time least necessary railroad tunnel. It's located on the west side of Chattanooga where Nashville & Chattanooga placed tracks in 1852. The tracks run through a valley; originally walls were placed on either side but they weren't enough to withstand dirt and rock slides. Thus, 400 feet of tunnel was completed in 1858 to serve as a roof and no longer need to clear the tracks.
By 1911, the one track could no longer meet the railroad needs. They cleared out a much larger area and built two sets of tracks through the area. They even had to add buttresses to the side of the existing tunnel to prevent it from making it's own rock slide onto the new tracks. Over time, the railroad here went from NC&StL to L&N and now CSX.
This area is fairly easy to find. The tracks parallel highway TN134. It's in Hamilton county very close to the Marion County line. There's a one-car pulloff spot on the side of the road, but sadly most people use the spot for illegal dumping. Whiteside is the nearest post office, so this is called the Whiteside Tunnel, although sometimes has been called the Raccoon Mountain Tunnel.
