Things To Do

We're so glad y'all are coming to join us in southern Appalachia. If you're new to town here's a small list of things we like to do in the area, mostly Asheville based but spread out a bit if you have a vehicle. There are tons of hikes nearby, blue ridge parkway is closeby. I suggest Looking Glass Falls because it's gonna be hot. Megan suggests Graveyard Fields because there may be still be wild blueberries growing on the trail, but those may be a bit far. Our favorite thing to do in the summer in Asheville is float the French Broad River. We usually put in at either French Broad River park or Carrier Park and float down to the Bywater (EDIT: CLOSED IN JAN...RIP) or Zillacoah for an after float refreshment. You can make it a bar crawl if you wish by stopping at the Wedge or New Belgium on the way down. I'll try to list some of our favorite restaurants and places below because I'm running out of room here. If you dont see anything you like text me I'll find something for ya!-Chad
