The highest mountain in the Black Mountain Range.
Reviewed By V2904KMrobinm - Hendersonville, United States
The drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway is full of long range views; at every turn you are impressed . When you reach the park entrance, you have 2 more miles to the summit. The Mt. Mitchell restaurant is along this road about half way. There is no charge to enter the park. Once at the top there are ample areas for picnicking, hiking trails, small museum, gift shop and some snacks for purchase. It is much cooler than Asheville. It is worth the trip for sure

An absolutely five star experience at these stables! My wife and I were in Asheville for our honeymoon and her ONLY request for the trip was to get a horseback riding trip that would allow her to relive her horseback riding days as a young teenage and Bucktown stables was the perfect place for that. They gave her a beautiful horse (Loki) that matched her ability and she was able to use the arena after our trail for a fun trot and hop with Loki. The trail itself was just beautiful. An hour long hike through the woods with a decent amount of uphills and downhills, combined with some deer spotting along the way. It was a rainy weekend and our guide (Maya) brought us back just in time before the storm. My wife did ride her horse a little in the arena during the rain and loved every minute of it! The people who run this ranch are just lovely humans - knowledgeable, friendly, and very kind. I also LOST my passport on the hike (PSA - do not carry valuables in your pants' backpocket during the ride) and one phone-call to these people the day after and they were able to retrieve my passport from the trail! They also rescue a lot of their horses from shelters. Truly life-saving group of folks with a beautiful heart and a lovely ranch.

This is an easy walk on a service road, enjoying animals and plants. The water fall is spectacular. Be certain to use restroom before you start.There is not a restroom on the walk. I go every October.
