3 Beautiful North Carolina Spots You Should Visit
I’m a guy that likes to stay relatively close to home. No need to travel far and wide when you live in North Carolina and South Carolina. There is everything from the highest mountains to the most beautiful beaches in the world right here within just a few hours drive from just about anywhere.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee
1 of the 3 beautiful North Carolina spots to visit before summer is gone is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Cherokee, North Carolina. More than half of its thousands of acres is in the Tar Heel state. And this “local” park is the most visited national park in the whole country according to visitnc.com.
Or Head To The Coast
If you are more into the coast, do we have a beautiful North Carolina spot for you. Head to the Outer Banks and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It stretches from the legendary Bodie Island to the north and southward to Ocracoke. You will find miles of pristine beaches. Or maybe take a look at one of the most iconic lighthouses in the world, The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.
Raven Rock State Park
This is one you might not have thought about before. Ever been to Lillington? There is a good reason to go and that good reason is Raven Rock State Park. This is what visitnc.com has to say about this beautiful North Carolina spot.” Getting to the top requires scaling 135 stairs, but the journey is worth it when you reach the overlook with a view of the Cape Fear River. In early spring, Raven Rock is a favorite spot to see wildflowers in bloom.”
