Sliding rock.

Grandfather is probably best for the kids. Table Rock is pretty cool too. Lots of hiking trails.

Taking the fam Friday. I know and love the mountains but looking for something off the beaten path.

Anybody got some cool, recent stuff they have done/seen recently up that way?

Not sure where we are going yet. Maybe this side of Asheville or Boone or Chimney Rock or Blue Ridge. If we get this cabin it's in Jefferson.

Got a house up there, Boone is 20-25 mins from Jefferson, so you can try anything there. All the Asheville stuff is too far.

In downtown W. Jefferson there is a little bit to do art shops, cheese plant, restaurants. Canoeing on the river, fishing, couple golf courses close too.

Cashiers area is awesome. I'd recommend renting a boat at Glenville for a day or two, go to Carolina Smokehouse, shrooms & hiking

If more North, go to Linville Falls, Beech Mtn. (my stomping grounds), & Mast General Store. Too bad you missed the Wooly Worm Festival that sh*t rocks

You can go to the old OZ theme park, they open that up annually in the Fall at the pinnacle of Beech
