Best food in town, if you're feeling fancy. Just make a reservation well in advance!
Excellent NC bbq, close to the breweries downtown.
Other great breweries right here on South Slope include Funkatorium, Burial, Twin Leaf- you can walk to them all.
One of our favorite breweries right on the French Broad river.
Want to stay close to town, get the views, but don't want to take a day hike? Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway for great views the whole way! The map here links to the Visitor Center, but there are great places to drive all over!
A steep but short hike to a beautiful view of the mountains. One of our early favorites. Take this hike for a bit of a workout then head to Louise's in nearby Black Mountain for a breakfast burrito!
Nature's best waterslide. Near Brevard- great town. Recommendation- swimming and sliding in Pisgah National Forest then lunch at The Square Root! Also check out Looking Glass Falls.
A scenic drive to a famous NC spot. Nice trails up near the big rock and a cute town down below.
It's a 50 min drive, but it's worth it. Especially if you like waterfalls! Bridal Veil Falls is pretty special.
More lovely mountain views! It's a tower. Don't climb if you're afraid of heights :)
One of the closer and easier hikes in the area, with nice views of the mountains at the top!
A great venue. Bon Iver is playing here on the Sunday night after our wedding!
Another favorite music venue (and taqueria).
West Asheville, Breakfast tacos, SO good.
We haven't been here but we've heard that the back patio here is an amazing spot for views and a drink. Great drive on the BRP, too.
This is where we are staying! Great spot for drinks, brunch, garden walks, etc :)
