Hiking The Tallest Cliff in East USA | Whiteside Mountain (North Carolina)

In this adventure to Highlands, North Carolina within the Nantahala temperate rainforest, we hiked a pluton mountain which is one of the oldest mountains in this world. Called Whiteside mountain, It also has the tallest cliff in the east USA. Whiteside mountain is also a notable landmark of the Eastern Continental Divide. Furthermore, a beautiful paragraine falcon (worlds fastest bird and animal) got agressive with my drone! Overall, one of the best hiking trails we've done so far!Show more

In the "Hiking Epic Trails" series, we find the coolest landmarks on each hiking trail and give them a name. However, some of them already have a name. In order, the landmarks in this video are Summit 1, a Man-made platform, Narrows at the Ridge, Edge of the World, Far Side of the Mountain, If you're scared of heights don't come here overlook, rocky top overlook, puddle rock overlook, Mini Cave near the split rock, striped rock on whiteside staircase.

Whiteside Mountain or Sanigilâ'gĭ in Cherokee is a mountain in Jackson County, North Carolina between Cashiers, Highlands, North Carolina, and the Georgia border.[1] Whiteside Mountain can boast the highest cliffs in Eastern North America.[2] It also has a feature called Devil's Courthouse,[3] not to be confused with the Devil's Courthouse 20 miles away in Transylvania County, NC.[4]

Since the 1980s, the forest service has tried to restrict access to the Courthouse and has allowed the foot trail to it to grow over because of dangers such as strong winds. They also did not want accidents from paragliding and similar activities taking place from the mountain top or from the Courthouse. There is also an overhang, a small platform less than 7 feet in diameter, connected to Whiteside as if it were a cantilever. Similar overhangs can be found on the Appalachian Trail.
