City advice
Getting around
Be prepared for mountain miles.
When you come to the mountains, don't rely on google to tell you how many miles away something is. These are mountain miles. Expect winding, two lane roads. Sit back and enjoy the views. Beech Mountain is the highest elevation town on the East Coast!
