The appropriately-named High Country is home to some of the tallest mountains in the state, with peaks that soar above a mile in elevation. Bustling towns can be found in every corner of these majestic mountains, as well as hundreds of miles of trails to bike and hike, multiple rivers to paddle, fish and float, and even extensive cave systems to explore.
Stunning vineyards, quaint road-side motor lodges, ancient rivers and local brews can all be found and enjoyed in this diverse and spectacular region. If you’re looking for adventure this summer, head to North Carolina’s High Country. Start Your Adventure
