There are a lot of hiking trials with majestic waterfalls in the area like Roaring Fork waterfall which is one of the regions prettiest falls, and one of the easiest to hike. Another one of our favorite things to do is a trip to Linville Falls which is only about 25 minutes away. Pack a picnic when you go and after your hike from seeing the huge waterfalls we suggest you stop by Linville Falls Winery on your way back. The wine and atmosphere there at the vineyard is gorgeous.
