We presently lost one bear and awhile back an otter at Grandfather Mountain. We go every year to support the animals but not this year. To much crap going on. Got to meet Doc Watson when his sister was in hospital in same room with my mother in law. He was so nice. We buy season tickets to Tweetsie also and this year we didn't get to go there either. Dang it this year sucks. The only good thing is we're all still alive and kicking.

That picture was the scene from my bedroom. Thanks for the memories

I grew up outside of Boone in the Zionville area (halfway between Boone and Mountain City, TN). I'm 4 generations deep. My daughter worked at the original Mast Store for years, and I have a second cousin still employed there. All these places, like Howard's Knob, Grandfather Mountain, Matney, Cove Creek, Bethel/Bever Dam, Mabel and the like were my stomping grounds. I love that people are discovering how great we had it growing up. WHS Class of '94!

From Boone Nice video definitely worth a visit

[jenrivard]

The zip line wasn’t for me due to the hand-braking, but my kids loved it. I was terrified once I got up there and couldn’t stop. 😂 Next time I think I’ll start with a course without hand-braking.

This is a great travelogue for this town. I did an insurance inspection in 2003 on a Burger king in this town staying overnight. I must admit I totally missed the true marvelous character of this town while I was there.

[judynichols]

My father went to ASU and several nieces and nephews . And when we were little we go to Grandfather Mountain .We loved it !

[annettecarroway]

Boone is a wonderful place to visit. I have a beautiful log home for sale not 35 minutes from Boone on Watauga Lake TN.

I am proud to be a Tarheel and the Boone/Blowing Rock area is one of many fun and interesting places to visit in North Carolina. If you have never visited our state please make plans to do so soon. You will not be disappointed.
