Scaly Mountain is a small town Southwest of Highlands, North Carolina. It is in Macon County, North Carolina, close to the Georgia-North Carolina border, and is a highly popular spot for skiiers and snowboard enthusiasts.
The Scaly Mountain trail is a short segment of the Bartram Trail section 1. The trailhead is across the highway from the Osage overlook and begins at a set of steps. On top of Scaly there are three overlooks with views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The trail ends at the third overlook.
Central to this remarkable and highly scenic area is an unusually high (4,000-foot) plateau on the southern edge of the Blue Ridge. Numerous mountains with steep granite cliffs-a unique feature in the southern Appalachians-create imposing scenery in this area. These cliffs may be seen from NC 106 and US 64 and, indeed, throughout the area; but they are best observed from the summits of two remarkable mountains, Whiteside and Satulah, both of which are reached by short, easy trails.
The cliffs and rock outcrops are botanical treasure houses showcasing the southernmost distribution of numerous rock-loving plants which need a combination of altitude, bare rock, and high rainfall to survive. These cliffs are excellent places to see peregrine falcons, ravens, and wintering golden eagles.
This region encompasses the headwaters of the famed Chattooga River and is the major northern access to the Ellicott Rock Wilderness. Streams such as the Cullasaja fall off the plateau in steep gorges. Waterfalls are frequent. Vistas of the Rabun Bald country and Blue Valley, now an experimental forest, are visible from NC 106, especially at the Osage Mountain and Blue Valley overlooks.
The Highlands of North Carolina.
