This is a beautiful spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Craggy Pinnacle hike is a great way to have an awesome view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Jess and I stayed in downtown when we visited together, and I also lived in downtown Asheville for almost five years before Yellowstone! Downtown is a great place to walk around and explore, its small but cool. Malaprop's is a great bookstore, and Tupelo Honey is some yummy food.
It is pretty awesome to have this in Asheville!
The biggest tourist attraction in Asheville besides the mountains themselves. It is on the pricey side, but it is a cool way to see how the Vanderbilt's lived years ago.
