Grandfather
Mountain
Grandfather Mountain is the highest peak in the Blue Ridge mountain
range and a globally recognized nature preserve. Stand head and shoulders
above the surrounding region, be awe struck by 360-degree views of mountain
ridge after mountain ridge retreating to the horizon, and discover sanctuary
for the human spirit. (If it hadn't been raining... this is where I
had planned on proposing!)
Blue
Ridge Parkway
Outstanding scenery and recreational opportunities make the Blue Ridge
Parkway one of the most popular units of the National Park System. "America's
Favorite Drive" winds its way 469 miles through mountain meadows
and past seemingly endless vistas. Split-rail fences, old farmsteads
and historic structures complement spectacular views of distant mountains
and neighboring valleys.
The Blowing
Rock
The Blowing Rock, North Carolina's oldest travel attraction since 1933,
is an immense cliff 4,000 feet above sea level overhanging Johns River
Gorge 3,000 feet below. Open all year weather permitting in Blowing
Rock, North Carolina.
Town of
Blowing Rock
Blowing Rock, North Carolina is the place to escape from it all. Cooler
temperatures, exquisite landscapes, a storybook village, shopping, hiking,
skiing, arts, festivals, attractions and so much more. Come any season
and bring your special someone or your whole family. It's an easy drive
now that Hwy. 321 and Hwy. 421 have been widened to four lanes.
Linville
Caverns
Experience the beauty of a natural limestone cavern. Encounter a
sleeping bat, or view a spider in hibernation. Stroll beside an underground
stream, a home to native trout. Peer into the seemingly endless depths
of our bottomless pool. Enjoy the constant 52 degree temperature. Remember
your visit for years to come! Your underground adventure awaits... at
North Carolina's only caverns!
Mast
General Store
Nestled in a secluded mountain valley, you'll discover spectacular foliage,
rustic countryside and a place Charles Kuralt calls, "... a destination."
That place is the Mast General Store in the rural historic district
of Valle Crucis. Since 1883, we've been outfitting the Appalachians
with traditional mercantile goods, comfortable clothing, rugged footwear
and quality outdoor gear for all mountain seasons. When in the North
Carolina High Country, we invite you to warm up by our potbellied stove,
mail a letter at our antique post office and discover for yourself why...some
times are just too good to leave behind.
Tweetsie Railroad
Tweetsie is more than a train. It's an institution, a tradition and
a legend. Mention the name "Tweetsie" throughout the South
and it conjures up memories for all age groups. For children, it means
a trip back into the Wild West, helping the US Marshal fight off howling
renegades and would-be train robbers. It also means music and entertainment,
exciting Country Fair rides and arcades, and lots of good things to
eat.
