Robert Frost wrote, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I / I took the one less traveled by / And that has made all the difference.” Take the road less traveled. From the back roads of the High Country, see the history, culture and natural geography of the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you’re looking for a place to “kick back” and enjoy a change of pace, North Carolina’s High Country, joined by several routes including the Blue Ridge Parkway and NC Highway 194, are a wonderful place to start!

Our rural character, Christmas tree farms and small town main streets, join the unbelievable mountain vistas. Whatever your pleasure you can enjoy four real seasons filled with natural beauty, man-made art, outdoor recreation, festivals, shopping, picnicking or whatever lowers your blood pressure. We invite you to come visit the High Country of North Carolina. We think this is the most beautiful place in the country and would like you to come share our High Country Back Roads with us.
