Spring Hiking Near The Switzerland Inn – Crabtree Falls

Crabtree Falls is one of the most visited falls in the Blue Ridge, perhaps the most beautiful waterfall in North Carolina.  It is located at the Crabtree Meadows Recreational area of North Carolina, found at the 339.5 mile post.

Before reaching the falls, you will pass through high mountain meadows showcasing wildflowers including hawthornes, gentians, beard tongues and mountain laurels.  The hike to the falls is a loop  of 2.7 miles but there is a short cut that can shorten it to a 1-mile hike.

Come stay with us at the Switzerland InnDiamondback Motorcycle Lodge and grab a meal at the Chalet Restaurant after your day of hiking the mountain trails.
