Things To Do

Grandfather Mountain

Check out the mile high bridge at Grandfather Mountain! There are plenty of hikes, nature museums, and wildlife habitats there as well.

Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster

Beacon Heights Trail

Hike to the Beacon Heights summit off the Blue Ridge Parkway, catching stunning views of Grandfather Mountain from a pair of rocky overlooks and exploring a beautiful, rocky, mossy forest.

West King Street

Things for everyone! This strip in downtown Boone features local shops of all types, including Boone's Mast General Store, where you can find boutique-style clothing, barrels of unique candy, and all of your outdoor needs. There is also a selection of bars and restaurants for good eats and drinks as you explore.

Beech Mountain Ski Resort

Beech Mountain Resort offers a variety of amenities, no matter what time of year it may be. We recommend the scenic lift rides, where you can enjoy a beautiful ride on the lift to the top of the mountain. From here you can grab a drink at the Sky Bar or just enjoy the panoramic views the summit has to offer.
