Walk a trail through Charlotte's South End neighborhood along the light rail tracks. Pass by breweries, art instillations, restaurants and more!
A unique Charlotte staple and one of our favorite spots! Go zip lining, rock climbing, paddle boarding, kayaking, mountain biking or just grab a beer and walk the trails!
Charlotte is full of breweries! Some of our favorites are: Legion (has our favorite IPA), Sycamore (Try the Mountain Candy), The Olde Mecklenberg Brewery (where the welcome party is).
Best hike close to Charlotte - we got engaged at the top of Crowders Mountain!
