Visiting North Carolina On Your Next Road Trip

North Carolina’s landscape just keeps on rolling and changing – from granite domes, bubbling streams and plunging waterfalls to Piedmont’s storied foothills and then out to sea on Atlantic barrier islands.

On the western edge of North Carolina and across the border into neighboring Tennessee, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has its Carolina headquarters at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee. The Smokies contain some of North America’s tallest mountain peaks. And with spruce, fir and conifer forests, dogwoods, rhododendron, azaleas and assorted wildflowers, this national preserve is a botanic wonderland. Many hundreds of miles of guided nature trails, paved back roads and streams inspire visitors to explore the park’s lands and waters, either on foot, on horseback, by RV, or simply on a leisurely floating tube. Besides Great Smoky’s annual attendance of nine million human visitors, the park is inhabited by the likes of woodchucks, coyotes, red foxes, a sizeable population of black bears and more than 200 diverse species of birds. Trivia Time: 27 resident salamander species establish the Smokies as the salamander capital of the world.

The Blue Ridge Parkway extends from Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park along the Appalachian Blue Ridge and Black Mountains, on through the Craggies, Pisgahs and Balsams and into North Carolina’s Great Smokies. North Carolina contains 262 miles of this 469-mile-long scenic byway, including awesome views of multiple mountain peaks; spring wildflower shows of purple rhododendron and flame azalea; summer greenery; forests ablaze with vibrant autumn leaves; and a wealth of local wildlife. Parkway nature trails, designed for hikers and horses, twist through varied landscapes with natural water features like ponds, meadows, streams and tumbling cascades.
