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.
