Asheville & Black Mountain, NC
As someone who loves both being in & exploring cities as well as enjoying nature, I have long-awaited visiting Asheville, NC. I have heard amazing things about their beer scene, music scene, food scene, and I have a few friends that live there currently. In November, my partner was presenting at a conference in Black Mountain (about 15 miles east of Asheville), so I jumped at the chance for a weekend trip to NC.
