Boone and Blowing Rock, NC - Great Places to Live!
USA Today,
National Geographic, U.S. News & World Report and even the New York
Times have "discovered" the area around Boone and Blowing Rock, in
western North Carolina. Boone made National Geographic's 2007 list of
the "50 Best Adventure Towns" in the U.S.; USA Today's list of "10
great small towns with huge back yards"; and USN&WR's 2007 list of
"10 Best Retirement Bargains". The area is known for delightfully cool
summer temperatures (averaging around 75 degrees), gorgeous mountains
(including Grandfather Mountain, the tallest peak in the Blue Ridge
Mountains), polite residents, abundant outdoor activities and
surprisingly good restaurants - and, last but not least, as the home of
the two-time defending NCAA Division I-AA champion Appalachian State
University football team. The Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk area is
located 100 miles northeast of Asheville, two hours from the Charlotte
airport and three hours or so west of Raleigh.
Boone and
Blowing Rock North Carolina have 4 ski resorts within 1 hour of each
other, along with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which runs
through the Blowing Rock Area. Along the Blue Ridge Parkway you will
find some of the most scenic mountain views on the east coast of the
United States. Moses Cone Manor and State Park has 25 miles of hiking
and horseback riding trails is just outside of historic downtown
