Go wild in the country in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Surrounded by North Carolina's magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains, a Downtown Asheville vacation rental makes a great base for hikers. The city is within an hour's drive of both Pisgah National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where the legendary Appalachian Trail passes through. But the biggest draw to Asheville is its proximity to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The range is home to a variety of wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for black bear, herds of free-roaming elk, and cute river otters. Gaze up and see bald eagles and peregrine falcons glide overhead.
