High Hampton Resort - Under Renovation

My family has had a property in Cashiers for longer than High Hampton has existed. While not a guest or member of High Hampton, we've always been friendly neighbors, and I grew up hiking the Rock Mountain Trail and swimming in the High Hampton Lake. Recently, High Hampton was sold out of family ownership and, under new management by remotely headquartered Daniel Communities, has begun an alarming development project. While some growth can be expected, the complete and callous destruction of their natural resources is shocking and short-sighted. The High Hampton I grew up with valued and respected the mountains, and proximity and access to natural beauty was part of the appeal to its community. The new management does not seem to share these values, and has departed from the a long tradition of land stewardship. Already they have replaced large portions of the Rock Mountain Trail with a massive road, even bulldozing through the one remaining portion of the historic Cherokee Trace, once a heritage site and landmark of national importance, now simply gravel. They propose to build more roads and sell private lots all the way up the ridge of Rock Mountain, cutting off hiking access by the historic Rock Mountain Trail, and permanently marring the view shed of the entire Cashiers community.nAs long as High Hampton continues down this path, acting with greed and disregard to both their community and natural heritage, I will continue to speak out against them. I encourage their membership and guests to speak up, as well. Rock Mountain is a treasure, beloved and iconic, and should be conserved for future generations.
