While You’re in
the High Country!

North Carolina's High Country is a land of
extremes. From the highest peak and the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi, to the second oldest river in the world, the High Country is not a land of mediocre proportions.
Just an hour North of Mt. Mitchell at 6,684, the highest mountain in the east, is the deepest gorge in the East, Linville Gorge.
Just North of Linville Gorge are the headwaters to a river with it's own claim to fame. The epitome of an oxymoron, the "New River," is actually the second-oldest river in the World--second only to the Nile.
From banjos to violins, dosie-does to pirouettes, local storytellers to Neil Simon plays, and hand-thrown pottery to towering steel sculpture, the High Country offers a unique blend of traditional and modern culture.
