Blue Ridge

Explore this journey and discover:

Blue Ridge We bet you’ll do more stopping and "oohing" and "aahing" than driving on “America’s Favorite Drive”.

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.

Asheville & the Central Mountains Roaring waterfalls and quiet lush forests. Urbane and artsy Asheville. This place will draw you in.

Southern Mountains Come to an outdoor paradise in the Smokies and the home of the Cherokee Indians. Oh, there's black bears too!

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.

Smoky Mountains The most visited of the National Parks and one of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. We're waiting for you.

Small Mountain Towns Make your way through the NC mountains one small town at a time. Come explore, enjoy.
