Hiking/places to stop by:

Craggy Gardens & Craggy Pinnacle Trails:

(30 min drive from AVL). These are both relatively short easy-moderate hiking trails. Go to the Pinnacle trail if you want a 360 view!

Graveyard Fields (Second Falls):

Short ~1 mile roundtrip hike, with a beautiful waterfall you can swim in. One of Danielle's favorites and a special hike she always took people to visit.

Devils Courthouse:

Close to 1 mile roundtrip hike, this is strenuous but worth the great view at the top!

Looking Glass Falls:

The first waterfall that Mike and Danielle visited, and it is top of our list. You can view the falls from the side of the road, and walk down the steps for a closer view and a swim!

Pisgah Inn:

Easily accessible, ample parking, and easy to walk behind the restaurant and enjoy a spectacular view!

Folk Art Center:

Located off the Blue Ridge Parkway, a center that is filled with local crafts made by local artisans. You'll find things like quilts, brooms, glassware, and so much more.

The Biltmore:

One of Asheville's most visited places. It is very boujee as Danielle would say, but can be a bit pricy.

Blue Ridge Parkway Visitor Center:

Danielle's former workplace, and a great indoor center to learn about the history, geology, and things that make up the "Parkway".
