Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Blue Ridge Parkway, Rainbow Falls Near Asheville, North Carolina
Clips from our recent weekend trip to Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, Rainbow Falls, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. All of these are near Asheville, North Carolina.
Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Falls are located within the Pisgah National Forest. There is a short hike to Sliding Rock where you can slide down a natural rock water fall into an 8 foot pool of water that ranges between 50 - 60 degrees most of the year.
Looking Glass Falls, also located in the Pisgah National Forest, is a short hike right of the main road. Visitors can get in the small pool of water underneath the falls.
Rainbow Falls is located in the Gorges State Park in southern North Carolina. The hike to Rainbow Falls is a strenuous 1.5 mile hike to the waterfall that is over 100 feet tall. Just past Rainbow Falls with an additional .25 mile hike to Turtleback Falls (not in the video). Turtleback Falls is a 20 foot waterfall where visitors can slide down a rock formation into a pool of water.
Also, in the video are clips from a drive in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Views from the Blue Ridge Parkway overlook the Pisgah National Forest.
All of these parks and waterfalls are located within an hours drive of beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.

Craggy Gardens | Blue Ridge Parkway
We made an amazing discovery high in the mountains of North Carolina... Craggy Gardens along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The elevation is so high it looks and feels like winter, yet you can see the plush greenery at the lower elevations. Since we were here in May, we did not get to see the blooming Rhododendrons, but nonetheless the view was outstanding.
Come join us for a hike up the Craggy Garden trail to the summit!

Found a Plane Crash in the Woods While Hiking Grandfather Mountain | MOTM VLOG #46
In this vlog we visit the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina and get into a hike that was almost a little over our (or dogs) heads. Along the way we came across the wreckage of a plane that crashed in the woods.
Grandfather mountain is located near boon, blowing rock and banner elk in North Carolina. We decided to try and make it to the highest point by hiking from the boon fork parking area. Grandfather mountain has a visitors center with educational activities and entertainment but you have to pay to get in. You can hike for free however from one of these out of the park places.
Near the peak of the mountain we saw something off in the woods and investigated. Turns out it was the wreckage of a small plane. The plane’s tail tag is N735MB and looking it up tells us The cause of this accident was controlled flight into terrain. A VFR rated pilot flew into IMC conditions. Here is the link to the NTSB summary of the report.
It was a fatal accident.

Live the Life You Choose: Biltmore Park in Asheville, NC:
“Asheville is a happening place,” says Kit Cramer, President and CEO of the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. “It's exciting and fun. People who come to Asheville are looking for quality of life.
“People love to experience this area, and people are really learning a lot more about what Asheville has to offer in terms of arts, music, food, outdoor activities—all those types of things,” says Kramer. “They love the beauty of the natural environment, but they also love that they can access that very quickly. We're a cosmopolitan city in a small package. So you can quickly get to a hiking trail. Or if you wanna kayak or you wanna bike, you can easily get to those things. So, we've got big city amenities within a small package.
“Asheville is attractive to a pretty broad cross section of people,” says Kramer. “We're seeing a lot of young people, a lot of creative talent moving to town because of the vibe of the place. But there are also a lot of retirees who move to the area and people with families. So it's a pretty broad cross section of people coming from around the country to live here.
“Asheville is the hub of a whole region,” says Kramer. “People come from 10 counties around Asheville, into work each day, so if you're into a rural setting, you can do that and still be able to access work here in Asheville.
“Asheville has a mixture of neighborhoods,” says Kramer. “That's one of the things that makes it really cool. You can live right downtown, or you can live in a historic neighborhood. You could live in the River Arts District. There are lots of different styles of life in this particular community.
“I think we're gonna continue to see growth in Asheville and the region over time of business and opportunity for people who wanna move here,” says Kramer. “Plus, we're gonna continue to see a growth in terms of visitorship. And once they get introduced, they're really interested in coming back here—Perhaps making it a second home location or finding a way to relocate here full time. It's a great place to be.”

A Visit To Asheville NC, (and some beer) | MOTM VLOG #47
This city had a shroud of mystery around it for us. Everyone we met had the same reaction to the mention of Asheville: “*GASP!* You HAVE to go to Asheville! You’ll love it!” We were told it was artsy, it was modern, it was laid-back, it was a college town, it was beautiful, it had the Biltmore Estate, it had tons of good shops and restaurants, it was a hippie town, it was progressive, and it was Beer City, USA.
We grabbed our bikes and found a parking spot about a mile outside of downtown. We rode in a ways before finding a place to lock up our bikes. We walked the streets, just noticing the people about, the colorful, earthy, high-end shops, the plethora of restaurant options. The art on the walls, an old bus turned into a hip little corner coffee shop. Like any city it had homeless people. It also had street musicians staked out in front of the cafes with the outdoor seating areas.
We walked the Pack Square Park with the county courthouse and City Hall, which is one of the Art Deco Masterpieces of Asheville. In 1943, World War II pilot Col. Robert Morgan was flying his Memphis Belle bomber on a nationwide tour to sell war bonds. On his way out of Asheville, he banked the craft 60 degrees and slipped it between the Courthhouse and the City Hall.
The next day we went to check out The Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Estate is America's largest home, built by George Vanderbilt. It is an 8000-acre beautiful and grand estate in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC that many claim outshine many of the castles in Europe.
We had been told it was very beautiful. The drive into the estate entrance gate was gorgeous. Tickets were required to get close enough to SEE the house. We went into the Visitor/Ticket Center to see our options. When we learned it was going to be $65 per person to gain entry, we watched the free short info video of the history of the estate, and then we left. Maybe we will come back one day when we are a little less frugal.
We debated driving all the way out to the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. After the failed attempt to see the Biltmore Estate, we figured we should at least see something. We had been told by our friends RV Love that we should go and that it was BEAUTIFUL. We couldn’t help but wonder how a brewery could be beautiful….
Yes, you should go to Asheville. It is quite an experience. Like any city, it has tons to do, lots of great restaurants, and some interesting history. Some things will cost you a lot, but if you're vacationing on a budget there are definitely some cool places where you get a lot of bang for your buck. This one definitely had a unique vibe though - a little more laid back, a little more indie and artsy.

Not Recommended for RV'S or Travel Trailes
Located between Waynesville and Brevard on US Hwy 276, you'll find this amazing area of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina.
I took US Hwy 276 south out of Waynesville headed towards Brevard. It's a smooth winding drive up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and continues down four miles to the Cradle of Forestry Home of the Biltmore Forest School. Not far past the school is the next road you come to on the left which Google map says its National Forestry Road not Avery Creek Road but it's actually Forestry Road 477. Turn left of FR 477, it's a well maintained gravel road and you will see the Forestry sign Roadside Camping Only. Though the road is narrow it is a well maintained gravel road. The first roadside camp is about two miles in at the top and the other seven road side camps are spread out the next two miles. If you keep going on FR 477 you'll come to a Horse Stables to turn around or continue past the Horse Stables and another five roadside camps are on the left. FR 477 comes back to US Hwy 276 turn left and you'll see the Pisgah Ranger Station/Visitors Center. There were 10 marked roadside camps with fire rings on this well maintained gravel road. Quiet and no one around and with day time temps in the upper 70's and night temp in the lower 60's makes it perfect camping weather.
RV'S or Travel Trailers Not Advised but their is Davidson River Campground as you head towards Brevard.
