This area has so much to offer, naturally and culturally. Many trails near Maggie Valley (GSMNP, Blueridge Parkway, Pisgah/Nantahala Nat forest, Cherolaha highway. Asheville and Cherokee have lot to offer in cultural area. Fine tune your wishes or focus areas and I will offer suggestions (native resident).
