Do you like hiking

Or perhaps you like biking

Maybe it’s fishing?

We live in one of the most beautiful spots on the east coast, and fall in Western North Carolina is peak tourist season– and for good reason! The changing colors of the leaves light up the mountains in breathtaking yellows, golds, and reds. No matter your preference, whether it be hiking, biking, fishing, or paddling, our team has crafted a series of haikus to share our favorite spots for enjoying fall in the mountains of WNC.

Before we start, we want to acknowledge, with respect, that the land we work and recreate on today is the ancestral land of the ᏣᎳᎫᏪᏘᏱ Tsalaguwetiyi more commonly known as the Cherokee. We recognize the Cherokee as the native people and original stewards of this land and that we need to listen and learn from the people of this land. The places we’ve listed below are all on these lands except when acknowledged otherwise.
