This Is Why Everyone Is Flocking To This Tiny North Carolina Town

Sitting just beneath the Appalachian Mountains is a hidden gem of a town that's become a spot North Carolinians travel to for its charm, its laid-back and relaxed feel, and it being an ideal spot for a quick getaway.

Breathtaking Scenery

The town of Blowing Rock is known best for, of course, the Blowing Rock itself. The stunning cliffside has views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains (looking at you, John Denver).

Legend has it that anything you throw over the ledge will be blown right back up to it. Beyond the view from Blowing Rock itself, is the gorgeous Blue Ridge Parkway, which is one of the most beautiful drives you can go on in the US. It's a great place to see the changing leaves in fall, or take in some of the views of the wildflowers in the spring.

Check out how beautiful the drive is in the fall.

A Cutsie Little Town

While Blowing Rock is filled to the brim with history and that lovable Southern charm, it's also a great place to spend the day or even a weekend. Visitors love the town's Main Street, which is full of art galleries, boutiques, and cozy little cafes.

Of course, some of those small-town family-owned restaurants, and the town feels like a Hallmark Christmas movie when the holidays roll around.

More To Do Than Shop

Just minutes away from the town of Blowing Rock is an opportunity for adventure in every direction. Check out the Moses H. Cone Memorial Park, where you can hike, bike or ride horses along the scenic trails.

If you're a snowboarder or skier, there's the nearby Appalachian Ski Mountain, which offers options for all levels of skill, but also some breathtaking views as well.

It's all at and around this beautiful little town of Blowing Rock in North Carolina. Mark it down as a bucket lister!
