Natural Attractions
The Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina have a vast array of natural attractions. Here are a few in our immediate area that just can't be missed in the fall. At any given time during the season, at least one of these locations is sure to display great color.
*Bass Lake/Moses H. Cone Memorial Park*
Autumn is a fantastic time for a mountain festival. Put on your favorite sweater, head out to enjoy Mother Nature's seasonal exhibition, and indulge in all those wonderful treats like candied apples, fresh kettle corn, and hot cider. Click *here* for more information.
Some things are synonymous with a mountain fall season: beautiful color, crisp breezes, and apples. Follow the link above for information on apple outlets, where you can buy a bushel or take home fresh apple butter, caramel apples, applesauce, jelly, cider, pies, fritters........
