Because of the tireless work by state and federal employees, local folks, and thousands and thousands of volunteers, the mountains are OPEN – including two lanes of Interstate 40 – and we invite you to vacation...

Whether as wandering ghosts of soldiers or as mystical messengers of woodland creatures, fireflies, or “lightning bugs,” occupy a unique space in the ethos of the Appalachians.

The Appalachian Mountains are filled with storytellers. For the longest while, the front porch was the classroom to learn about family and local history along with a lucky and mischievous boy named Jack.
