🏔️ The mountains are calling
Consider visiting downtown Boone for a weekend this holiday season. | Photo via Wikimedia Commons
The mountains of Boone have long been a refuge for Charlotteans itching to get out of town for a day trip or a long weekend — especially during the holiday season. We all know things look different this year as North Carolina communities are still recovering after Hurricane Helene.
While Boone still reopens, we’re sharing a guide to hitting the road to the “Heart of the High Country,” plus a few resources to follow ahead of your trip.
Experience — Grandfather Mountain | Get a taste of adventure by trekking the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Eat — Betty’s Biscuits | Feast your eyes (and stomachs) on delicious southern cooking, from the “butterbuster” to the hot chicken plate.
Stay — The Horton Hotel & Rooftop | Spend a night in one of 15 uniquely decorated guest rooms in the heart of downtown Boone + savor a drink on the rooftop lounge.
Yourfavorite thing on Oprah’s Favorite Things list for 2024. We’re seeing goodies like fluffy mittens and paint-by-numbers portraits. Psst — Oprah’s also picked finds from small businesses, like a hot chocolate collection made by Asheville, NC’s French Broad Chocolate.
We hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving Saturday. There should hopefully be some leftovers lingering in the fridge. My family spends the morning shopping local and seeing a movie before settling in for college football. However you spend this special day, have fun!
