We have attempted to provide directions from the main highways on which you might possibly be traveling to get to His High Places. These directions are from within North Carolina. If you are traveling from another state, we recommend that you utilize an atlas or that you call us for directions up until the point that these directions begin. A word of caution: some folks have chosen to use internet directions, which have proven tricky given the rural roads in the area immediate to HHP. If you choose to use internet directions, you should know that there are two Berry Roads in this area. Internet map resources will give you inaccurate directions to His High Places. Please call us 828-963-4866 if you have any questions.
