Asheville Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Asheville practically defines natural beauty. Three mountain chains—the Great Smokies, the Blue Ridge, and the Black Mountains—encircle the valley-nestled town and dominate the surrounding countryside, making Asheville a great base for hiking, whitewater rafting, and horseback riding.
