Discover North Carolina's breathtaking
mountain region with the new Go Blue Ridge Card, an all-inclusive
ticket to the Blue Ridge's top attractions. For those taking I-75 and
I-95, plan a few days through North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains.

savings to more than 25 top attractions, as well as shopping and
dining. The FREE Blue Ridge Guidebook is a well-thought out 16-page
resource. |

The full-colour
guidebook contains area maps, sample itineraries for kids, history
buffs and art & culture and suggestions of things to do depending
on the weather conditions. It has a history of Blue Ridge, glossary and
interesting facts, attraction descriptions and important phone numbers.
The Go Card and Guidebook comes with recommended daily itineraries as a
starting point for the visit, but with the all-inclusive card,
travelers have the flexibility to customize their own trip.
Two 'must-see' sights along the way are: Grandfather Mountain, the
highest peak in the Blue Ridge mountain range. Grandfather Mountain is
a globally significant nature preserve. Cross the famous Mile High
Swinging Bridge and thrill to 360-degree views of the surrounding
region. Biltmore Estate is Vanderbilt¹s 8,000-acre estate
featuring the 250-room Biltmore house and acres of gardens; stroll
America¹s largest home and its breathtaking surroundings.
The Blue Ridge Parkway's rich history stretches almost 500 miles along
the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. More than half of
³America¹s most scenic drive², 252 miles, runs through
North Carolina, and it¹s toll-free!
The mountain region features forests, wildlife and wildflowers
thousands of feet above a patchwork of villages, fields and farms.
Capture the vibrant fall colours and explore some of the oldest
settlements of Native American Culture and early European homesteads.
The two-day card costs US$79/adult, and average savings of US$24 on
attractions alone; three and five days cards also available. For
