OP here. The earlier suggestions to go peep at leaves this week was spot on. We started the climb out of Morganton and ended up in Blowing Rock. Beauty around every turn. We did notice that it depended on which side of the mountain as to the degree of color. Our guess is that there will be a great show for another 2 weeks (unless a storm comes through). Thanks for all the comments on the names of the ranges.
IF you like apples. You should go up 16 to Sugarloaf out past Taylorsville. The BEST Winesap apples you will ever taste. tart, and fresh this time of year. They also have cider, and locally made jellies, Jams, Preserves, Apple butter, AND sugar Free apple butter, jellies, and preserves. Also have all kinds of candy and such. Well worth the trip.
