Summer is here, and there’s no better place to make the most of the warm weather than Visit Hendersonville, NC! Situated among the Blue Ridge Mountains, this adorable town is the perfect home base for all your Western North Carolina adventures.

Catch the view at Jump Off Rock, spend the day kayaking the Green River, or walk or bike the first six miles of the newly opened Ecusta Trail. Then, cool off by swimming in a waterfall pool.

After exploring, check out our local breweries, wineries, and cideries along the Cheers! Trail or treat yourself to something sweet along our flavor-packed Ice Cream Trail. And don’t forget to wander through downtown for one-of-a-kind shops, galleries, and restaurants.

Perfectly positioned for day trips to Asheville, Brevard, and beyond, the path to gratitude and happiness is no secret. It starts here. Start planning your visit soon and discover your new favorite mountain town!

All over Western North Carolina, you'll find untapped adventure waiting to be explored.

To read about some of our favorite ways to enjoy a staycation in WNC, check out "The Great Staycation" by Lara Ivanitch: https://wncmagazine.com/feature/piedmont_pursuits

"I've been looking at that face for more than 50 years and I never get tired of it."

Last week, PBS North Carolina released a new episode of My Home, NC featuring one of our frequent contributing writers, Randy Johnson, for his work restoring Grandfather Mountain's backcountry trails. In 1978, Johnson began the long process of marking trails, creating administration systems, and popularizing the area as a destination for hikers in order to preserve the wilderness of the mountain.

Johnson has covered Grandfather extensively in WNC magazine, including his recent guide to backcountry camping ("The Backcountry Beckons") and a historic look at the mountain's classic trails ("The Climb"). Find these stories on our website or visit the links below to read Johnson's articles:
