Visiting North Carolina Mountains and Triad Cities

As the gateway to the Appalachian Mountains and the Smoky Mountains, the Piedmont Triad city area in northern North Carolina is a great spring and summer destination. Travelers from all over converge on the area comprised of Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point. In Winston-Salem, don’t miss out on the Reynolds House/Museum of American Art. In High Point, guests can check out the High Point Museum, or experience some local flair at the annual City Lake Park Easter Egg Hunt.

West of the triad city area is Asheville – set adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest, it’s home to the Biltmore Estate. A 175,000 square foot, 250 room, French Mansion, the Biltmore Estate is the largest privately owned home in America, and offers tours and exhibits. Scheduled for late February and into early March, be sure to experience the 25th Anniversary Heritage Classic Dancesport Championships – you can compete, if you’re a dancer, or just watch in awe. Set for March 9, be sure to have some laughs at the 24th Annual Comedy Classic Weekend – watch your favorite comedians like Mike Green, Kathleen Madigan, and Rachel Feinstein.

East of Asheville, and near the South Carolina border off I-85, is Charlotte. Home to professional sports teams like the Bobcats, and Panthers, race fans love a visit to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Although the Panthers and the rest of the NFL are currently out of season, you can still catch the fast-paced, slam dunk action of the Bobcats as their season is wrapping up in late May and into June. Be sure take in a game at the Time Warner Cable Arena. Currently set for March 17, plan for the Charlotte Motor Speedway Fan Appreciation Day. And in mid-May, you’ll definitely want to make time for the Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival, held at Symphony Park at South Park Mall.

North of Charlotte, along I-85, is Greensboro. Home to Emerald Point Water Park, spring and summer are premier travel seasons for those looking at the northern regions of North Carolina. Looking for a place to celebrate the Fourth? Head to the Greensboro Coliseum Complex, and the Cultural District of downtown Greensboro – this annual event will have food, a Freedom Run, a Kickoff Block Party and, of course, a fireworks finale. In March, don’t miss out on the African American Heritage Extravaganza. Set for March 30 and April 1, make a day of it at the Craftsmen’s Classic Art & Craft Fest.
