13North Carolina
Are you a road trip aficionado? If so, then take note. Travel writers report that this state is the “perfect road trip destination.” Here you will experience the beautiful scenery firsthand.
Don’t forget the famous Blue Ridge Mountains either. In fact, there are other renowned mountains throughout North Carolina’s fringes including the gorgeous Great Smoky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. (In fact, your rugged rovin’ writer has hiked portions of all of them and can vouch for their raw beauty!)
North Carolina has more than natural beauty though. It also has its own individual combination of aesthetics. Here you will notice a welcome, quirky blend of Bohemian vibes, hip originality, and warm Southern charm. Be sure to include the Outer Banks on your itinerary too. Take in the scenic coastline and the large beaches that are great for both relaxing and exploring.
