Franklin is known as the "Gem Capital of the World." The area is rich in gems and minerals and is a favorite spot for rockhounds of all ages. The famous Cowee Valley north of Franklin lures thousands each year to its mines which yield valuable stones to lucky miners annually. Among the native stones found are ruby, sapphire and garnets, just to name a few.

Franklin lies within the Nantahala National Forest. Comprised of over half of a million acres of unspoiled beauty, the rolling mountains rise to peaks over 5,000 ft. high from the valley of the Little Tennessee River. Spectacular waterfalls, pristine fishing streams, and abundant wildlife are among the area’s many natural treasures. The mountainscape is lined with many wonderful hiking trails, including the famous Appalachian Trail, which meanders for 60 miles along the crest of the Nantahala Mountains.
