The Smoky Mountains offer the perfect blend of unspoiled acreage, mountain land, magnificent homesites, four seasons climate, cultural activities, ski resorts, events, medical facilities, churches, championship golf, university life, restaurants, shopping, and antique stores.

If outdoor activities and healthy fun is what you seek, come and enjoy a day of whitewater rafting, sightseeing at the Biltmore Estate, craft shopping in Asheville, at the Folk Art Center or at a Southern Highland Guild Crafts fair, riding or hiking on the Appalachian Trail, cruising on the Blue Ridge Parkway, rock climbing or mountain biking in the Pisgah National Forest, mountain view golfing over the Smokies; after an evening of contradancing at the Old Farmers' Ball, clogging at Shindig on the Green, wandering at Bele Chere celebrating at the Leaf festival or sampling one of the many local restaurants, come home to a charming Victorian farmhouse featured in Farms, Gardens, and Countryside Trails of Western North Carolina and its National Park.

Autumn's pageantry of colors usually peaks in mid-October. Some 800 miles of trails thread the whole of the Smokies' naturalfabric - and its waterfalls, coves, balds, and rushing streams. The Smokies, a wild landscape rich with traces of its human past, calls people back year after year.

Much of the interest and mood present in the park depends on finding subtle variations in nature not seen from automobiles. For example, wildflowers, cascading streams, the scent of evergreens, and the sounds of birds are best seen and experienced away from roads. For this reason, the National Park Service maintains 800 miles of trails here.

Few folks outside the mountains have ever heard of the strange creature whose hideaway is somewhere among the rocky crags of the Plott Balsams. As a matter of fact, not too may of the local folks know about the Boojum and his cache of priceless gemstones which, legend persists, is stored in stone jugs filled with pert'nin' juice.

But time was when the adventurous and the fortune hunters scoured the wilds of the Plott Balsams in search of the Boojum's secret cave, bent on turning up the bonanza of rubies, amethysts, and emeralds. More ...
