You could spend a month vacationing in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains and never have time to experience all the great things there are to do in the area.
There are mountains for waterfalls and hiking. There are rivers for kayaking and whitewater rafting. And there are rushing mountain streams for world-class trout fishing.
North Carolina's top three attractions — Harrah's Cherokee Casino, Asheville's Biltmore Estate and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — are all within minutes of Dillsboro; as is Western Carolina University.
And everywhere you look, there's the indescribable beauty of the southern Appalachian mountains. It's the ultimate change-of-pace.
