Wintertime in Blowing Rock is usually clear, crisp…and sometimes cold…in the 30s and 40s (consult your favorite weather web site for details). But cold weather doesn’t mean uninviting; several activities have a special attraction for visitors in winter (not to mention the low rates at the town’s wide variety of accommodations). Dress warmly!
Here are a few suggestions:
- Go winter tubing and ziplining at nearby Hawksnest. www.Hawksnesttubing.com; www.hawksnestzipline.com

And when all that’s done, warm up with a great meal at one of Blowing Rock’s many unique eateries or a local craft brewery: Blowingrock.com/food-drink.
