Walnut Creek Farm — Attraction in Bryson City

Took my family of 5 out to the “Highland Cows experience” out at Walnut Creek Farm at 1:30pm on a Sunday (need to call in advance to ensure an open slot!!), the wonderful owner gave us snacks for the cows and hair brushes…… and oh they LOVE the snacks and my 20 yr old son kept brushing their hair and they would not leave the gate where he was at…..

Sapphire Valley ski resort ending up having a machine break down for the ski slopes so we couldn’t ski and were looking for something unique and different to do…. And this was only an 1 hour and 15 minutes away….
