At the Ridge: North Carolina’s Boone, Banner Elk & Blowing Rock
Winter is the perfect time to explore the 'other Carolina'. A snow fallen Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk is a quintessential Southern experience. Long drives and slow, steady trail walks are key to wander and wonder throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains, stopping ever so often for a hot cup of Joe.
Summertime in Montreat - Black Mountain - Asheville
In less than a week’s time, you can see and experience a quintessential, Southern mountain experience. For me, it’s nice to escape the the intense and often unbearable Charelston heat and head slightly north to 'the other Carolina.’ From Lowlands to Highlands, every time I am in the North Carolina mountains — particularly Asheville, Montreat and Black Mountain — a new experience awaits and memories are made and shared.
