Fall in Love with Trails
Beacon Heights Trail| This quick little .8-mile (round trip) hike has big rewards! It features a lookout with a great view of grandfather mountain and due to the high elevation, tends to see fall color early in the season.
Biltmore Estate Trails| Did you know Biltmore has 22 miles of hiking trails? A favorite of our Asheville experience leader Angelica’s is the trail to the Lagoon – a perfect picnic spot that provides a striking view of the west side of Biltmore House. Mid-to-late fall is a colorful time to hike the trails here.
Cataloochee Trails| Enjoy the historic churches and cabins as you stroll the trails in Cataloochee, however, the real view is the elk! Cataloochee is home to a large elk population and to experience them in person is surreal!
