From Tellico Plains, TN, take a short detour off the byway (east via SR 165) and follow the signed turnoff to Bald River Falls, where you can see the cascading water from your car. In North Carolina, Hooper Bald is a popular stop for hikers and picnickers. And on clear spring and fall days the view from the Santeetlah overlook, the byway's highest point, is amazing.
