All right....Asheville, now were talking! WOW, Biltmore estate, largest single family residence in the world, 255 rooms and 80,000 acres. We loved it, the gardens are flawless and beautiful with a large "hot house", the winery was excellent and lunch in the carriage house was very good. It is an expensive tour but worth it.
The next day we went to Chimney Rock, what an outstanding hiking area and all around great visit, the ride was also quite nice as it was not labeled as a scenic byway but it rivals any we have been on. It reminds you of Oak creek canyon in Sedona with more trees. the vistas from the top of the rock where awesome as well as the 26 story elevator ride inside the rock!!
Our last day there we went to Grandfather mountain which was similar to Chimney rock, then on to Linville Viaduct which is a civil engineering landmark on the Blue Ridge parkway. next we tackled the mile hike to Linville Falls, all in all another great day!
