Why is Asheville North Carolina SO COOL? (Plus Things To Do!)
Asheville, North Carolina is more than just mountains and scenic views. We traveled to Mount Mitchell, Biltmore Estates, Looking Glass Falls, and explored the city of Asheville in one weekend!

Mount Mitchell State Park
Mount Mitchell’s dramatic summit is the highest point east of the Mississippi at 6,684 feet, and was the inspiration for one of the nation’s first state parks. The observation deck is easily accessible but it is a very steep uphill climb to get there. Super short to walk to, but lots of elevation.

Looking Glass Falls
Located along U.S. 276, Forest Heritage Scenic Byway, near Brevard in the Pisgah National Forest, Looking Glass Falls is one of the most popular and beautiful waterfalls in North Carolina. And it's perhaps the easiest to view (one of the few accessible roadside waterfalls). Being so easy to get to, this is one stop you'll want to get to early!
The name "Looking Glass" comes from Looking Glass Rock, where water freezes on its sides in the winter and then glistens in the sunlight like a mirror or looking glass.

The Biltmore Estate
Biltmore is America's largest home. The luxurious family home of George and Edith Vanderbilt, Biltmore is a 250-room French Renaissance chateau that includes 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces. Adjacent to Biltmore House are 75 acres of formal and informal gardens designed by renowned American landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted. The estate covers approximately 8,000 acres. And they make great ice cream too!

Downtown Asheville
There is so much life and wonderful art in downtown Asheville. Take a stop to explore all the history of Ashville through a walking tour of the Urban Trail. The Urban Trail is basically an outdoor museum all around town. The trail is about 1.5 miles from start to finish. Every station calls to mind a historical moment and, for the most part, the achievements of remarkable individuals connected to the city!

Riverside Arts District and Murals
In West Asheville resides the Riverside Arts District. Here, you find a good place to start on the hunt for murals, great breweries (more on that next video *hint), and amazing art created by locals. We love finding murals, and Asheville has some of the best we've come across!
