Waterfall Mountain is nestled in the blue-green folds of the Blue Ridge Mountains in rural Ashe County, NC., in Clifton community 30 miles north of Boone, NC, 2½ hours from Asheville, Charlotte and Greensboro. [Directions will be sent upon registration.]

The road leading to Waterfall Mountain parallels the headwaters of the New River, the oldest river on this continent and the second oldest river in the world.

From the Retreat Center, look south to the waterfall and the forest scaling the slopes to the top of the mountain: Jonasse Rock and Raven Rock, the eastern end of the Three Top Range.

From the field above the Center, look north to inspiring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in three states: North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee.

Waterfall Mountain invites you to walk through the woods, ground yourself on ancient boulders, meditate by the waterfall, weed and pick in the garden, watch the sunset over three states, nap in the hammock and lie on the Earth. At night, feel the peace of true darkness lit by the brilliance of thousands of stars.
