A World of Recreation and Wonders
Western North Carolina is known for its mix of natural attractions, scenic wonders, and cultural enticements—literally something for everyone. The Blue Ridge Mountains are a treasure trove of outdoor activities, the gateway to a variety of recreational pursuits: countless trails for hiking, cycling, and nature-watching; sweeping, scenic views along Blue Ridge Parkway; camping and exploring in the Pisgah National Forest. That’s just for starters. The ancient French Broad River offers superb rafting, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The region is also sprinkled with a number of inviting mountain towns. Nearby Asheville also offers a major airport and superb healthcare through Mission Hospital.
