Appalachian Trail NC’s  88-mile section of the App Trail is among the most scenic, running along the spine of the Blue Ridge. Perfect.

NC Mountains Breath-taking beauty, history, heritage, crafts,  music and outdoor activities beckon you at every bend in the road.

High Country & the Northern Mountains From ski resorts to wineries, the High Country is a rich mix of outdoor fun and great attractions.
