The Shadow of The Bear

Rhodes Big View Overlook on Hwy 64 at Whiteside Mountain
Between Cashiers and Highlands, NC

The shadow, cause by Whiteside Mountain, is visible between 5:30 - 6:00 PM the last half of October and into early November. It is again visible the last half of February into March. The 750 feet tall cliffs of Whiteside, are the highest shear cliffs in the eastern United States. That should give you some idea of how large the bear is.


This is a favorite capture of many visiting photographers to our area!
