Travelers have been drawn to Jackson County's scenic beauty and pleasant climate since the 1800s, and the ageless mountains and relative solitude remain its most enduring attractions. Mountains provide the rhythm for life in Jackson County. From high vantage points they carry to the horizon in gentle waves, mountain after mountain, draped in soft, swirling clouds. Their folds shelter emerald valleys, wildflower meadows and tumbling, splashing streams. Waterfalls with whimsical names like Silver Run, Rainbow and Turtleback cascade down the flanks of the highest and most dramatic peaks in the East. |
