Highlands is known as the "walking town" so come prepared! For a small town we have an eclectic mix of shops that sell everything from souvenirs, jewelry, designer clothing and one-of-a-kind mountain finds.

You can be sure to find something for everyone with antiquing, gourmet restaurants, scenic views, botanical gardens, whitewater rafting, gem mining, rock climbing, hiking, awesome mountain shopping and a nature center. Live theatre and auctions during the season. During the wintertime (weather permitting) you can enjoy snow tubing in nearby Scaly Mountain.
