WHAT MAKES THE WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS SO SPECIAL?
by: Lynda Bennett

The answers are easy to find. Since the days when the locomotives first chugged up the
Saluda grade to destinations such as Flat Rock, Lake Lure, Waynesville, Black Mountain, Dillsboro and Asheville, “summer people” have been visiting the mountains. They may have come for different reasons such as the lack of air conditioning or the fear of mosquitoes laden with disease in the sultry southern lowlands, or a family connection brought them home. The original reasons varied from person to person.

The reasons they found to return year after year - and to love these mountains - can still be found here today.

All age groups will find a reason to come to the mountains … and to return year after year. Each visit brings new discoveries and a return to many places that have become favorites over a lifetime.

One reason the connection is so special is that people begin to develop “Roots” in the mountains that last through the generations. The connection brings people back and they in turn bring family and friends with them to share this special place. In time, many folks come to call these mountains “home” (or second home).

So what have all these summer people been doing with themselves?
