The Highlands Nature Sanctuary is the Arc of Appalachia's oldest and largest preserve. The heart of the 3100-acre preserve is the breathtakingly beautiful Rocky Fork Gorge, a 100-foot-high steep-walled dolomite canyon renowned for its stunning rock formations, ancient white cedars, grottoes, springs, and stone arches. The Highlands Nature Sanctuary is known for not only its geological beauty, but its wealth of botanical diversity and its spectacular spring wildflower displays – some of the best in all the Eastern United States. The Appalachian Forest Museum is free to the public and teaches courses on forest literacy and forest stewardship.
