Asheville is a beautiful city situated in western North Carolina among the Blue Ridge Mountains. Because of its mountain location, it typically has mild winters and cooler summers, but does receive a good share of rain throughout the year.
The town itself is filled with culture. There are a variety of art galleries downtown (all within walking distance of each other) where the public can browse and/or purchase local creations from fine art to innovatively constructed notebooks. As you walk from gallery to gallery, you will pass amazing specialty shops and eateries each with their own style and feel. Lets not forget to mention the great coffee shops and music venues for local as well as national artists; something for everyone.
The culture of Asheville is also enriched by contributing schools in the area such as the University of North Carolina at Asheville and South College. However, one of Asheville's most famous attractions is the Biltmore Estate. This privately owned home was built by George Vanderbilt II in the late 1800's. Now open to the public for tours, you can visit this grandeur abode and its 8,000 surrounding acres.

The Biltmore Estate
posted by:
Mar 26, 2002 - Mar 29, 2002
We wanted to drive a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway while visiting Asheville. The scenic Parkway runs along the mountain ridges from Virginia, where it connects with Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park, through North Carolina to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We started at the Folk Art Center near the Asheville entrance. The Craft House contains an exhibition of folk art and a craft store. From the Folk Art Center, we continued north along the scenic mountain road. It was very...

Rain or no rain?  Do I go or do I stay?  I will wait another hour to see if it clears , screw it “On the Road Again”.   Ten minutes later I am under the overhang of a Lowes home improvement center buying another TARP.  15 minutes 10 bungees later , rain suit on & here we go.  I just remembered why I don’t like riding in the rain.  I don’t mind getting wet , I don’t mind the bike getting dirty.  I really don’t like riding when you can’t...

The Largest Town in the Moutains

Asheville is about an hour and a half drive from Murphy (depedning on traffic) through some more of beautiful North Carolina. Asheville is in my opinion a city but most would still call it a town. It has close to 70,000 people which makes it a city in my opinion.  Asheville is rather a strange place if you ask me but I still enjoy it...after all, I have friends there so I have to pay it a visit every once in a while. You still get the peace of the country and the beauty of the mountains ...

We toured the largest house in the US. Impressive and very nice weather too 70F. This place is in Asheville NC and is a quick stop off the Blue Ridge Parkway or is easily access by way of I-40. Parking is a big problem and the cost of the entrance is expensive. Since the Christmas rush was over, we got our tickets for a very steep discount. Lucky for us!!! The house was built by George Vanderbilt and is incredibly huge. Construction was started in 1889 and completed in 1895. The st...
