FALL IS IN THE AIR!

Another Summer is coming to a close, and with that comes my favorite time of the year in the mountains…FALL!! Although our mountains here in Western NC are beautiful year-round, Fall is when they really show off! The transformation that occurs during late September through October is truly breathtaking. Vibrant variations of red, yellow and orange cover the landscape, and coupled with the clear blue skies and cooler temperatures, it makes Fall the best time of the year to get outdoors!
