Do folks have any suggestions? The only thing we've locked in is hotel (staying in downtown Asheville) and dinner on Saturday night (we are going to try out The Admiral). I haven't been here in nearly 20 years (when I was a kid), so don't really have a great idea of what I should plan on. Thanks in advance for any tips!
We're having a very, very late Fall here around Asheville. We had summer weather up until a week ago. So, if you're coming next weekend (Oct. 26-28), your timing is good to see some color, though this will certainly be a dull year. If you want specific suggestions for hikes, let me know more about what you like, and I'll respond.
