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

I'm so confused. I'm a flat lander now living in Hickory NC, east of Asheville and SE of Boone. Would a local please explain the name of the beautiful mountains I see. I hear Great Smokey's; Appalachi...

This is an interesting conversation. We envied those with access to the Rockies for all of our lives. Two years ago, we finally went on our trip out west. It WAS amazing. However, our hearts skipped a beat when coming back east and driving through our Appalachia. We realized at that moment that beauty is in all forms...not better or worse.

We're no longer envious, but do still want to get back to the Rockies every chance we get.
