North Carolina Travel Directory

Asheville is the Buncombe County seat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, known for the Biltmore Estate, a farm-to-table and craft beer scene, and early-20th-century Art Deco and Beaux-Arts architecture downtown, currently in an active, uneven recovery from Hurricane Helene's September 2024 flooding.

Brevard is the seat of Transylvania County in the North Carolina mountains, known as the "Land of Waterfalls" for its proximity to hundreds of cascades in Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest, and for a protected population of white squirrels found almost nowhere else in the world.
