A Year of Trails

 

Did you know that Blowing Rock is home to over 50 miles of trails? Add in the many more trails just a few miles from town, and you’ll never run out of places to explore. 2023 was the Year of the Trail in NC, the Great Trails State! It was the perfect time to revisit many of our trails here in Blowing Rock. Our staff hiked, walked, and experienced a nearby trail every week for 2023– that’s 52 trails! 

 

Throughout the year, we chose trails to explore that were standouts for the particular season, or offered easy access when conditions could be limiting. And so, here are all those trails- organized by month- so you can find a new one to experience. The trails range from accessible and easy paths to more strenuous and challenging trails. Find history walks and art trails, too! Remember to Leave No Trace as you enjoy these paths, to preserve these special experiences for all of us.
