If you have ever read any of resident author Jan Karon’s books from the popular “Mitford” series, then you have an idea of what life is like in this storybook village. This charming town, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, features unique upscale shopping, a full range of dining opportunities and plenty of outdoor adventure. Whitewater rafting, snow skiing and equestrian sports are popular here.

Blowing Rock got its name from the rock perch over the Johns River Gorge. A tourist attraction since 1933, the strong updraft at this cliff is said to blow back items that have dropped off.

This is also home to the Tweetsie Railroad, a family theme park featuring a three-mile, steam-powered train ride through the mountains. The area offers plenty of cultural offerings, including performances at the Hayes Performing Arts Center and the annual Blue Ridge Celtic Festival.
