Your Visit Makes a Difference
Tourism has always been the heartbeat of Western North Carolina—and now, more than ever, your visit matters. One of the most meaningful ways you can support the recovery of our mountain towns is simply by returning.
Our small, locally owned businesses—cafés, shops, galleries, outfitters, and more—depend on visitors like you. After Hurricane Helene, many are working hard to get back on their feet, and your presence helps them heal and thrive.
The good news? The Blue Ridge Mountains remain as breathtaking and soul-soothing as ever. Trails are opening, parks are welcoming guests again, and our favorite attractions are coming back to life—week by week, one step at a time.
Below, you’ll find a list of parks and attractions that have reopened, with more updates coming regularly.
Come be part of the comeback. We can’t wait to welcome you.
