Vacation Planning Map of Western North Carolina

Welcome! This page is a gateway to our companion site, Mountain Paradise Found — an interactive guide to North Carolina's Great Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains.

Our mountains offer unparalleled beauty, scenic drives, enchanting waterfalls, wildflowers, and mountain trails. Here you may just relax and listen to the quiet, or enjoy a variety of outdoor adventures: whitewater rafting, mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, golf, etc. Discover small town hospitality and quaint shops, featuring hand-made items, crafts and antiques. Dining choices are eclectic, from small cafes to gourmet dining.
