While we like to write about what’s going on around our bed & breakfast near Black Mountain, sometimes we like to venture beyond our area…to outer space, for example…
Part of Skyline Trail is now open at Chimney Rock
We were excited to learn that Chimney Rock Park recently reopened a portion of the Skyline Trail to a point fittingly called Exclamation Point, a little over a half mile from the Chimney. Exclamation Point is at an elevation of 2,480 feet and is the highest point in Chimney Rock Park, even higher than the Chimney. The trail is still closed to the top of the beautiful Hickory Nut Falls as work continues to improve the trail.

McDowell County Oral History Project
Have you ever read about a place with historical significance or a time long since passed and wished that you could go back and have a one-on-one conversation with the people who lived during that time? We always feel a stronger connection with the past when we find stories told by the very people whose lives are woven into the fabric of an area’s history — stories that have been thoughtfully and carefully preserved for present and future generations.
