The days always seem longer when you’re stuck at home or work, yet time (unfairly) flies by when you’re on a getaway. Don’t let your precious Asheville vacation slip away by wasting time debating where to go and what to do next. We’ve taken the liberty of listing seven fantastic Asheville activities to check out during a well-deserved break from reality at your Yonder Luxury Vacation Rental.
1. Go on A Hiking Tour of Blue Ridge Parkway Waterfalls
You’ve been cooped up for a long time. We get it, which is why we highly suggest going outside to enjoy some gorgeous North Carolina scenery. Hiking at Blue Ridge Parkway Waterfalls is an experience that you’ll never forget. Witnessing three wondrous waterfalls and immersing yourself in nature is a great way to feel refreshed by your Asheville vacation.
2. Navigate Asheville by Foot
If you’re unfamiliar with the area, then an Asheville tour is perfect for you. You’ve probably spent a lot of time indoors and don’t relish the thought of being cooped up in a vehicle, which is why we highly recommend an Asheville by Foot walking tour. Develop a deep appreciation for your vacation home away from home and learn about Asheville’s rich history.
3. Reconnect with Nature at Pisgah National Forest
Spend a day exploring Pisgah National Forest alone or with your loved ones. The diverse landscape—rivers, mountains, waterfalls, and forests—will leave you feeling breathless and connected with nature. As a bonus idea, check out the Hickory Nut Gorge State Trail recently highlighted in Outside Onlines “Where To Travel” Article.
4. Support the Local Art Scene at River Arts District
Another excellent way to reconnect with yourself and the world is to dive into the local art scene at the River Arts District in Asheville. Visit a building that hosts an artist or medium that speaks to you, or spend a lovely afternoon meandering through artworks. Bring home a piece to commemorate the trip (and support a local artist!), or if you’re feeling adventurous and creative, sign up for an art class or two.
5. Asheville Urban Trail: A Self-Guided Tour
Some people prefer guided tours. Some people prefer the freedom to explore independently from a group. The Asheville Urban Trail suits the latter. While there’s no official guide, you can download the map or audio guide and take yourself on an Asheville adventure.
6. Book A Fishing Charter
Get out of the city and take a look at the local fishing scene. The great thing about fishing charters is that everyone seems to love the experience—people who have never fished and seasoned fishers. Learn about fishing (perhaps you’ll pick up a new hobby!), chat with Asheville locals, catch a trout or two, and appreciate the natural beauty of North Carolina from a unique vantage point.
7. Brewery Walking Tour
No Asheville vacation is complete without taking a look at their marvelous microbrew scene. Home to 15 breweries, it just makes sense to book the BREW-ed Brewery Tour of Asheville. Get a crash course in the brewing process and enjoy several samples while getting your exercise in for the night.
