Travel Guide

This is my favorite picture from this project. I think this is my favorite because of the beautiful barn art. This barn was the first thing you saw when pulling into this man’s driveway. I found it funny because this isn't something you would usually see when first pulling into someones drive way, but it didn't look out of place in this environment. I think the people of Appalachia are proud of things like this because it is a part of their history, it has character. #appalachianechos

Good everything. Clean room, nice staff and good breakfast with gluten free bread and fresh fruit! Puzzles and games for kids at the lobby. Nothing was really bad but if you're sensitive about the noise, the road outside can get loud. I also wish the pool was a little warmer.

Another #hiddentreasure of Appalachia is this view from Vilas Overlook. I managed to snap a picture at the perfect time—the leaves are changing colors, the goldenrod is in full-bloom, and the cloudy sky is covering the hills like a blanket. That’s right—not even the cloudy skies can diminish the incredible view that this is. I found it on my way to Trashcan Falls, and it is up a dirt road. The view was different than other overlooks like Thunderhill and Howard’s Knob in my opinion because this one was nestled right in a residential area. You can even see the house I had to park above to get this shot! Luckily it was a lazy Sunday and nobody seemed to notice I was there—they were all probably napping after church! #appalachianechoes #vilas #overlook #appalachia #mountains

Touching untouched land at Snake Mountain which cuts through Zionville, NC, highlights the beauty of the land that Appalachia stands for. The beauty of the Appalachian Mountains is apparent as my friends and I risk encountering dangerous animals and steep hills as we hike through untamed, flourished plants. Weeding through the hectic trees we encountered an even deeper meaning of untouched land as we came across cows and horses grazing in the land. The beauty of Snake Mountain is apparent as human trails are highlighted with slight indentations in the grass and burnt fire pits that are inhabited by the local animals. The pure lack of industrialization is a welcoming feature and trait of Appalachia that people of the region love and embrace. #appalachianechoes
