Hiking
Hiking
is perhaps one of the most popular outdoor
activities in the Boone area and one of the best
ways to see the unspoiled Blue Ridge Mountains
of North Carolina. Many of the best hiking spots
are not easily accessible by vehicle, but are
some of the best kept secrets of the mountains.

find numerous places to hike and trails of all
types. Here we’ve outlined some of the most

The High Country is intersected by the Blue
Ridge Parkway, which provides the region with
easy access to many of the more popular NC hiking

carriage trails were made for easy walking,
jogging, as well as horseback rides by carriage,
