Learn more about Waynesville

Tucked between the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains, this mountain town offers outdoor adventures for every season. Wander Main Street's historic buildings before heading to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for spectacular hiking trails. Golfers can tee off at Lake Junaluska while equestrians saddle up at Queen's Farm Stables. The Cataloochee Valley rewards early risers with misty mountain views and the chance to spot elk grazing in meadows. Blue Ridge Parkway's Balsam entrance provides access to some of America's most scenic drives. After mountain adventures, local restaurants serve hearty Appalachian fare that tastes even better with stories from friendly locals who've called these mountains home for generations.

A view of the Cataloochee Valley. This is an area in the northern-most section of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is one of the best areas of the park to see elk but the drive down the mountains into the valley is a white-knuckled drive the entire way. But it is well worth it, not only for the beautiful scenery, but also because you're almost guaranteed to see elk. #blue #smokymountains #mountains #tennessee #greatsmokymountain #nationalparks #EndlessSummer #Green
