Swing into a round of golf on this legendary 18-hole course.
Excellent brewery with great views of the French Broad River!
This is where we got engaged! Looking Glass has always been a favorite trail of mine and getting engaged at the top made it even more special. The Looking Glass Rock Trail climbs about 1,700 ft. in just over three miles (6.5 miles round-trip, allow 4-5 hours). The views from the top are well worth the effort. The trail is well blazed in yellow and easy to follow. Directions to trailhead - Take I-240 West / I-26 East. Continue on I-26 East to Exit 40 for Highway 280 (and the Asheville Airport). Take a right onto Highway 280 West and go 16 miles toward Brevard. As you enter the Brevard area, you will see a big shopping center on the right. Just past the center, turn right onto US Highway 276 North (Forest Heritage Scenic Byway) to enter the Pisgah National Forest. Go 5.3 miles and turn left at the sign for Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and the State Fish Hatchery. Go 4/10 of a mile and look for the parking area on the right for Looking Glass Rock Trail Head.
Hipster approved. The best cocktails in town.
A local spot. Great coffee!
An excellent coffee spot adjoined with a local bar, Cascade Lounge. This is as local as it gets and located in infamous West Asheville.
A local favorite located right on the French Broad River. This restaurant not only has excellent food, it has the aesthetic and atmosphere you're looking for as well.
