From the world-famous Biltmore house, built by George Vanderbilt near the turn of the 20th century, to the town of Cherokee, North Carolina's single most popular tourist destination, landmarks both great and small surround Asheville. The enduring Appalachian Trail cuts through the very western part of the state, challenging thru and day hikers year-long. Dolly Parton's nearby Dollywood is a country music meets history meets amusement park located in nearby Tennessee.
