An early check-in at Skyline Village Inn, Spruce Pine, NC. Retro in the best way, with a view of the mountains. This bed is so comfortable! They even have EV charging stations in the back.

Crabtree Falls, Blue Ridge Parkway, Little Switzerland. (3 total miles out and back, 577’ elevation). This beautiful, woodsy, rocky trail lots of uphill for a good workout. It takes you to a beautiful waterfall, the tallest along the entire Blue Ridge Parkway. We enjoyed it all to ourselves and were able to stand near the base and enjoy a cooling shower.
