SWEET ONION RESTAURANT
WAYNESVILLE
Virtually EVERYTHING on the menu
is great but you MUST get a side of mac 'n
cheese. It's more like a MAX and cheese, made
with ziti and a multi cheese blend that you
can't stop eating. The trout is great too and
add a pleasant atmosphere and professional
service. Our recommendation is: don't leave
Waynesville, Maggie Valley
or anywhere
within 30 miles without it!

 MT
MITCHELL STATE PARK
Located between
Asheville
and
Little Switzerland off The Blueridge
Parkway, Marker #355
There are a few places in the world that still stand apart
from the ordinary. Rising more than a mile
high, surrounded by the gentle mist of
low-hanging clouds, Mount Mitchell State Park
is one of these extraordinary places. At an
elevation of 6684, is the highest peak in the
Black Mountains. Named for Dr. Elisha
Mitchell, a professor of sciences at
UNC-Chapel Hill who first suggested that the
peak that bears his name was the highest in
the range. Dr. Mitchell died on the western
slope of the mountain while returning from one
of many exploratory trips to western North
Carolina. For those who ascend this mighty
peak, what looms in the horizon is a feast for
the eyes—breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge
Mountains, rolling ridges and fertile valleys. |
