North Carolina High Country - Hike to the highest peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains or drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which unspools like a ribbon along the ridgelines of the Appalachians in the North Carolina High Country. The region’s largest town is Boone, which is home to Appalachian State University and its three-time division I-AA national champion football team. The area offers ample opportunities for enjoying the outdoors by camping, hiking, canoeing, whitewater rafting, skiing, and even picnicking! Heritage and culture are portrayed in a myriad of musical offerings, events, and attractions like Horn in the West, the Music Fest in Sugar Grove, Tweetsie Railroad, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, MerleFest, Concerts on the Lawn, square dances at the Todd Mercantile, and back-porch bluegrass jams at the Original Mast Store in Valle Crucis.
