Western NC & the Mountains
Asheville
Considered the hub of western NC, Asheville is a scenic town that's full of energy and activities. Summertime is a bit cooler, so head for the hills--the Blue Ridge Parkway can be accessed from many parts of town offering a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind.

Boone & NW NC area
Pictured above is the Blue Ridge Parkway just below Rough Ridge and the Tanawah Trail. In the distance you can see the Linn Cove Viaduct as it traverses around Grandfather Mountain State Park. One of NC's most recognizable landmarks--no visit to this area is complete without enjoying this stretch of "America's Favorite Highway." Not too far away and huddled in the Northwest corner of the state is Boone; home to Appalachian State University
Western, NC
If you follow I-40 through Asheville, you will reach Tennessee in about 40 miles as you pass through the Great Smoky Mountains. But if you detour south you will find so much more fun and excitement. Or maybe you'll only find peace and quiet. Either way, it's out there and it's waiting for you to discover. Whether you're cruising the Blue Ridge Parkway all the way into Cherokee, the Smoky Mountain Parkway or US Hwy 64 through the Land of Waterfalls--there's just too much fun to be had!
