Try Blowing Rock, NC. Not exactly SEC but close enough.



The view from Canyons Restaurant on 321, and the adjacent houses, is mind-blowing. Absolutely gorgeous.

Banner Elk and Boone are pretty fricking rad, too.

I live in Black Mountain, outside of Asheville. Eclectic, artsy town with a decent bit to do for a town of its size.

ETA: I'll toss in Linville, too. Not much going on, but Linville Gorge is a must see.

Just got back from there a week or two ago.

The Flat Top Brewery was closed.

Love both of those, drive through both when I take 421 from Winston Salem to Johnson City. Linville Falls is great too. I'm in the process of moving to Asheville right now.

No shite? We stayed there this Fall. Great pizza place there that we liked a lot. Neat little beer store in town with a friendly owner and an awesome breakfast place in an old house downtown.

Asheville, NC is awesome. More in the footprint would be: Chattanooga, TN, Florence, AL, Savanah, GA, and Mobile, AL.
