Asheville North Carolina
Small
City, Big Time Bites What made elBulli alumna Chef Katie Button
choose Asheville as the home of her first restaurant? For years,
traveling foodies have been surprised to uncover a food scene of
metropolitan quality and farm-fresh authenticity tucked away in the
mountains of North Carolina. The word is spreading. A recent
TripAdvisor readers’ poll named Asheville alongside New York,
Chicago and Charleston on a short-list of the nation’s top culinary
destinations. More than 250 independent restaurants, a booming
artisan food products industry, and a destination-wide movement to
elevate gluten-free and sustainable dining all play a role in
support of a fiercely local food community that is reinventing what
it means to be farm-to-table.
Blue Ridge Parkway
The
Blue Ridge Parkway is history waiting to be discovered! Although the
road is often seen primarily as a scenic byway with plenty of
natural attractions, it is also a cross-section of Appalachian
mountain history. Stretching almost 500 miles along the crest of the
Blue Ridge mountains through North Carolina and Virginia, it
encompasses some of the oldest settlements of both pre-historic and
early European settlement. Visitors can trace much of the history of
Appalachian culture by observing overlook signs, visitor center
exhibits, restored historic structures, and developed areas, all of
which reveal points of particular interest. For a complete listing
of the Parkway's historic attractions, contact the areas you will be
visiting.

Ridge Mountains in one place.

Foothills or let your cares fade away in the cool mist of 404-foot

readers of Blue Ridge Country magazine. We’re only 45 minutes from
Asheville and less than 2 hours west of Charlotte, NC.
Grandfather Mountain
Grandfather Mountain and its rocks reveal a long history of
rock formation and mountain-building that
dates back to 1.1 billion years ago. Today the mountain you see is
the end product of two things: the mountain-building that culminated
300 million years ago, and the erosion that has been ongoing for
over 100 million years and continues today.
The original Cherokee name for the mountain was “Tanawha,” meaning
“a fabulous hawk or eagle.” It was named “Grandfather” by pioneers
who recognized the face of an old man in one of the cliffs. Many
vantage points reveal different faces, so there is no one official
profile of the mountain, but the most popular can be seen from the
community of Foscoe, seven miles north of Linville and 10 miles
south of Boone on N.C. 105.
