Peak leaf season is just around the corner. In about a month the North Carolina mountains will transform into a rainbow sea of red, yellow, orange, and green. Those of us that live here are fortunate enough to experience the change from our own homes. And those of you who live in other areas of our magnificent state are fortunate to be able to drive an hour or two to witness the magic!
If you’d like to stay for a weekend there or longer are plenty of options for lodging. The mountains are full hotels, resorts, inns, and private home on sites like AirBnB and VRBO.
High Country Host offers all kinds of places to look for color updates, and locations to best enjoy the leaves this time of year. You can also learn more about fall festivals.
The High Country’s very own ASU Department of Biology also keeps their site updated weekly with leaf-related information. Their map offers a map to show the best times for color in the different areas of the High Country.
Blue Ridge Mountain Life offers their top 25 picks to get out and experience the mountains’ most stunning of seasons.
