North Carolina Section of the BRP

Looking for Restaurant, Lodging and Fuel info for the NC section of the BRP.

I'm sure that plenty out there have experiences both good and bad... I would love to hear them all.

It has been a while since I was up there.  But when I used to go, I have stayed at Linville.  There was a restaurant or two there, but accomodations were very limited.    Your best bet, in my opinion is around Boone, you will have to exit of and drive a couple of miles, but it is a small college town, and there are restaurants, places to stay etc.   

Others that live near there now might be able to give better information.    BTW, Boone is not a bad place to end or start a day.  It does get warmer down towards the Asheville end of the parkway.

If you have time go thru Linville falls, there is a cave there that is pretty neat. 

Also, there used to be a restaurant coming down from Mt.  Mitchell  I believe.  Don't hold me to that, it has been a while, and I can't remember where exactly it was.  It was decent, not outstanding ...  Mt. Mitchell and of Grandfather mountain are worth seeing. 

Have fun!!
