What is the name of the NC mountain chain where I am at?

The DW and I are from the other side and we found the Appalachian Range absolutely unbelievable. We have entirely different type of fauna and different mountains, the BRP was an unforgettable experience. While our ranges are taller, I found that the detour we were forced on to was the steepest, windiest road I have ever been on. Yes you have mountains, beautiful but different from ours in the West. Come visit ours but don't expect them to be the same.
