Smithmore Castle

Hotel

👍👍 Beautiful get away! Spent 2 nights here and the views were breath taking. But best of all, the food! Chef Benjamin and his staff blew me away with the entire dining experience, from the smells, tastes, textures and the combinations, not once did I even look for the salt & pepper shakers! And the ici...

Tennent Mountain

Hiking area

👍👍 Absolutely beautiful hike. Took a back packing trip and this trail was part of it. Getting to the top is easy and you can tell a lot of people come just for this and turn around lol. If you're going back packing there are some nice sites around with fire pits and flat ground to set up camp.

Richland Balsam Nature Loop Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Trail is great! A few tips we wish we knew when we set out: 1. You probably won’t find this spot unless you have the location set in your GPS. There is no signage indicating this is the trail. Just a tiny symbol of a hiker with a walking stick. 2. There are around 22 trail markers that are numbered....

Silva Terra Nature Park

Hiking area

👍👍 I am the coordinator of a dog meetup group in Upstate South Carolina. I heard about this place through a friend and decided our group should go check it out because they allow on-leash dogs. This is a family owned operation. Day passes are $5 (children under 2 are free), Annual passes are $40 or $9...

Wiseman's View Scenic Overlook

Scenic spot

👍👍 This was an amazing overlook of the Linville Gorge. I don't know the history, but it looks like it may have been a 1930s CCC project, with beautiful granite rock steps leading to a walled overlook area. There is also is a modicum of public amenity at the top. Namely, there's a clean outhouse, and...

Toms Creek Falls Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Such an easy hike. Limited parking serves about 25 cars. Only has gravel lot for about 10. The rest have to park along the roadway. Luckily it's a dead end road so not much traffic. Very easy hike for new hikers and small children. Big rocks and different trails and creek paths. Plenty of room to pl...

Blue Ridge Parkway

Hiking area

👍👍 There isn’t a better scenic route in North Carolina, especially not one with the amenities this one has. I would take the Asheville to Brevard path and just keep climbing. There’s a variety of stopping points and trails that showcase the best sights of the Appalachian mountains. The country store al...
