I took this picture because it reminds me of the time my parents brought me to Boone for a short vacation. We visited Mystery Hill and it is something I think about when describing this region. It is a picture that I feel many people from the region have in their minds from a previous visit or an outsider may feel for a similar place from their hometown. I chose to only take a picture of the sign because it is more direct than a picture of the Mystery Hill building. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532657226/b699632a-6894-448a-ad49-55da0c67e4c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Mystery Hill 4/5(74 reviews) You can spend time browsing the exhibits at Mystery Hill during your trip to Blowing Rock.

This overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway really shows how a moment of peace and quiet is only but a short drive from Boone, NC. I like to visit this area while the weather is still warm and the Parkway is open for whomever wishes to visit. The Blue Ridge Parkway, though likely not the quickest route to any destination, sure is worth the extra gas money. While cruising through some of the most beautiful parts of North Carolina and Virginia, the plethora of breathtaking overlooks entice you to stop what you are doing and quite literally enjoy the view. There is a calm that overtakes you when on the Blue Ridge. What you are seeing in front of you makes you feel so small and distant from the rest of the world. However, when you look to your side you see the handful of other spectators who are likely looking for tranquility. #AppalachianEchoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/126308/99fb4c51-eb1f-42f5-b638-794e1003fad3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Collettsville ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Blowing Rock worth visiting? ### How do I spend a day in Blowing Rock? ### What is the top tourist attraction in Blowing Rock? ### Is three days enough to stay in Blowing Rock? ### What are some activities to do in Blowing Rock with kids? ### What to do in Blowing Rock for adults? ### Are there free things to do in Blowing Rock? ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save even more - get up to 20% on select hotels when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
