Take a quick peek at where
your adventures begin.
Discover Heritage
and Treasures Here
Deep within the Blue Ridge
Mountains of Western North Carolina,
you’ll discover a unique heritage and
cultural treasures that can’t be found
anywhere else in the world.
From mountain music and Appalachian
crafts to ancient Cherokee traditions,
you’ll see why this region has the
honor of being called the Blue Ridge
National Heritage Area.
Visit blueridgeheritage.com to learn
more about the treasures you’ll
discover here.
Preservation of place, culture and tradition
The indigenous Cherokee people readily shared their tradition of
crafting techniques with the region’s early Scots-Irish settlers – including
weaving baskets out of honeysuckle vines and firing clay into
beautiful blackware pottery.
The early settlers used their newly acquired skills to develop a
utilitarian form of art and craft that continues to this day through
the hands of mountain craftsmen and Native American artisans.
When the settlers and Cherokee found time to celebrate, they did so
with song and dance, forging even more unique cultural traditions.
Mountain music was born of hand-carved fiddles, dulcimers, and banjos
that were used to play jigs, ballads, and love songs from the
settlers’ homeland. Mountain dance was soon to follow, as Scottish
sword dancing, Irish step dancing and Cherokee buck dancing
combined to create mountain clogging. These forms of music and
dance are still performed in competitions and festivals throughout
the region.
There’s a gazillion things to do in the North Carolina Smokies.

The Great Smoky Mountains National
Park was created in 1934 to preserve
800 square miles of natural wonder. The
park encompasses 700 miles of rivers and
streams, 800 miles of hiking trails, and
200,000 acres of virgin forest. And it’s
now recognized as the most biologically

The community of Nantahala shares its name around here with
a lake, a national forest and the river that runs through
it. Considering its location in the foothills of the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park in Macon County’s western boundary,
the translation of Nantahala into “Land of the Noonday Sun”
seems appropriate.
Whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or an active vacation,
Nantahala has it all. Comfortable lodging where you can just relax
for awhile; fast waters for fishing, rafting and boating; wooded
trails for quiet hiking; and a high-elevation lake with crystal clear
water for all kinds of fun. The lake is at 3,200’ elevation, one of the
highest mountain lakes east of the Rocky Mountains.
The road leading through the Nantahala community is a beautiful
scenic drive which is designated as a National Scenic Byway,
known as the “Mountain Waters Scenic Byway.”
You may have never heard of this beautiful corner of the Smokies,
but just come to visit once and we know you’ll be back – again and
again, Discover Nantahala – Nature’s Paradise.

The Dragon
At Deal’s Gap
318 curves in just 11 miles. In fact, the most curves per mile you can
find anywhere. Yep, The Dragon is one of the meanest, twistiest,
nastiest pieces of asphalt ever laid down. Officially known as U.S.
129, The Dragon is a fire-breather to Mini Cooper enthusiasts or any
sports car that can hang a corner, and motorcycle riders proud of
their road rash scars. You’ll find most of them at Deal’s Motorcycle
Resort, “Guaranteed to be one of the best motorcycle experiences
you will have.” Then jump back on to test your skills on “Little
Whip,” “The Slide,” or “The Gravity Cavity.”

Western North Carolina Scenic Byways
1
Waterfall Byway Strangely powerful or eerily tranquil, waterfalls do have
a way of casting a spell. If you happen to be a fan, this is your
byway. Winding 98 miles and featuring more than 200 distinct
waterfalls, it begins at U.S. 64’s intersection with N.C. 215.
Where it ends is likely somewhere far deeper within you.
2
Nantahala Byway The Cherokee used “Nantahala” to mean “Land of the Noonday
Sun.” Why noonday? Well, likely for the steep walls that frame
the Nantahala Gorge, an impressive site you’ll tour as part of
this swirling byway. Nearby, the Nantahala River has become
legendary for its whitewater. Just depart from Marble, head east,
and don’t stop until you pass Wesser.
3
Cherohala Skyway
5
Whitewater Way
Esquire magazine said “It’s like driving through a car commercial.”
Connecting the Cherokee National Forest to the Nantahala
National Forest, this clean, smooth highway encourages you to
open up your sports car or pause your RV for a sandwich and the
beautiful sights. And the skyway vs. byway bit? Once you drive
it, you’ll understand.
Quick: You have three guesses as to what you’ll encounter on
this scenic byway. The aptly named Whitewater Way is named
for Whitewater Falls, which is the tallest example east of the
Rockies. Take N.C. 281 and hike the many trails leading to
spectacular rushing water. Bathroom breaks are a must.
4
6
Indian Lakes Scenic Byway
Where N.C. 28 meets U.S. 29, fans of crystalline lakes
(especially those featuring Indian names) will find their calling.
Just leave what’s known as “The Dragon” and discover the first
landmark, Fontana Dam. From there, you’ll have a hard time
watching the road as you pass Fontana Village, Stecoah, and
its meandering end at the Tennessee border.
30
ncdot.gov/travel/scenic/
Forest Heritage Scenic Byway If, like Joyce Kilmer, you think that you “shall never see a
poem as lovely as a tree,” it’s time to put down the poetry
book and start your engines for the Forest Heritage Scenic
Byway. Take off on U.S. 276 North from Brevard to see The
Cradle of Forestry, the Pink Beds, and Shining Rock
Wilderness.
