The Blue Ridge & Smoky Mountains: An Explorer's Guide, Second Edition

Jim Hargan

Professional travel writer and photographer Jim Hargan, a longtime resident of western North Carolina, is your guide to the hills and backroads of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains region of North Carolina and Tennessee. Hargan reveals where to find local produce, crafts, and music, and leads travelers to the region's many historic homes and museums. He recommends scenic drives along the Blue Ridge Parkway and gentle walks in the mountains; outdoor activities from white-water rafting to bicycling to hiking the Appalachian Trail.

In addition, this comprehensive and best-selling guide to the region includes opinionated listings of inns, B&Bs, hotels, and vacation cabins; hundreds of dining reviews, from barbecue to four-star cuisine; 23 up-to-date maps; an alphabetical “What's Where” subject guide to aid in trip planning; and handy icons that point out family-friendly establishments, wheelchair access, rainy day activities, and lodgings that accept pets.
