Things To Do
Grandfather Mountain
Amy & I have done the Ladder Hike there twice & it's incredible! The views at the top are some of the best! It's a strenuous hike & not for those that are afraid of heights. A group will be going up early Friday led by none other than Tom Feiten himself, who has done the Ladder Hike many times! If you want to join that group, reach out to Tom at 865-271-7255 to get in on the fun! Hiking shoes preferred but not mandatory.
Roan Mountain State Park
This is about 45 minutes away and is a very easy and beautiful hike with amazing views.
Emerald Outback
We hike here often and have enjoyed it every time! If you are staying on Beech Mountain it is only a short drive away with many trails to choose from.
Linville Gorge Wilderness
Beech Mountain - Hikes
All of these are on the mountain, our favorite is the Emerald Outback
EDGE of the WORLD NC Whitewater Rafting, Rock Climbing and Rappelling
We have not done this but the reviews are very good and it's close to town. Go to their website and check it out they offer all kinds of fun stuff. Note: The rafting trip is most of the day.
River & Earth Adventures - Tubing and other fun stuff
This group offers Tubing, about 45 minutes from the mountain and it takes two hours or so but they also have longer trips.
Blue Ridge Parkway
Fun scenic drive with plenty of pull off's to take in the view & has some hikes along the way also
5506' Skybar - Live Music
Super cool place on the top of Beech, you ride the chairlift up which means you need to buy a lift ticket (not sure but probably $12-$15). Or you can cheat and park at the emerald outback and walk up. Music plays from 2:30-5:30 on Saturdays, if you a good seat try to get there a bit early if it's sunny bring a hat.
Mast General Store Boone
Super Cool store lots of outdoor gear, gifts, and great prices
Rascals Bar and Grille
Arguably one of the best restaurants on the mountain
Bella's Italian Restaurant
It is our tradition that every time we visit Beech Mountain we go to Bella's! 10/10 recommend for delicious authentic Italian food. Below we have listed our favorite's if you have trouble deciding! Amy' Favorite- Chicken Fettucine Alfredo Patrick's Favorite- Chicken Parmesan
Brick Oven Pizzeria
Good PIE! Here you can enjoy pizza, a wide selection of craft beer, and putt putt golf!
Bodegas Kitchen and Wine Bar
Good Food at the bottom of the mountain.
