North Carolina's High Country

Located in northwestern North Carolina near the Tennessee and Virginia borders, is an area known as the North Carolina High Country.  The area is a wonderful place to visit with four ski resorts in the winter, temperate summers, vibrant Springs and beautiful scenery in the fall.  Nestled in a breathtaking valley, is the hub of the High Country, the town of Boone.  Boone, also the home of Appalachian State University, offers scenic country roads, cascading waterfalls, wildlife, and an unsurpassed botanical paradise filled with a plethora of plants matched by few places on Earth.  In addition to Boone, the High Country is comprised of a handful of quaint towns and villages filled with world-class shopping, dining, and the nicest folks you’ll ever meet.
