Description

Have you ever been to the mountains of western North Carolina and wanted to see the scenery but escape the crowds? Maybe you were tempted to take off down a side road but hesitated, fearful of getting lost. Now, Touring the Western North Carolina Backroads let you make that escape.

The book’s 21 tours cover all the mountain region of western North Carolina and provide a lot of opportunities for seeing unspoiled landscapes and pastoral scenes. But scenery is not the only focus. Once you’re on the backroads, you might speculate about the history at the back of the old white clapboard farmhouse that dominates the valley ahead, or you might wonder about the rest of the story at the back of the two sentences on the historical marker along with the road. Touring the Western North Carolina Backroads fills in those details. Drawing from local histories and early shuttle writings, each tour is designed to be a journey through the history of the ages, and stories about early settlers combine to present a perspective that makes the scenery come alive.

This third edition features up to date directions, additional sites, new photographs, suggested spur trips, and nearby recreational opportunities. Use this guidebook to plan your next day shuttle, weekend getaway, or cycling adventure!

John F. Blair’s Touring the Backroads series includes shuttle books that literally take readers off the beaten path to historic sites and landmarks. Each book departs the highways and thoroughfares in favor of the backroads, giving directions, suggested routes, and historical details along the way. These books may also be read at home, or they make excellent shuttle companions for those in search of something beyond the norm.
