Asheville tops national leaf peeping list

STAFF REPORTS • September 30, 2010 Asheville Citizen Times

ASHEVILLE — TripAdvisor, a travel website, announced its top 10 fall foliage destinations today, with Asheville coming in as No. 1. Gatlinburg came in as No. 3 on its list.

The results were gleaned from a TripAdvisor survey of more than 2,300 travelers.

Here’s the list

1. Asheville, North Carolina
Nestled in the foothills region of western North Carolina, Asheville is a spectacular location for leaf-peeping. Travelers can enjoy the beautiful views by peddling through the Appalachian Mountains on one of many biking trails, or hop in the car for a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. One TripAdvisor traveler said, “We stopped multiple times for the breathtaking views. We will be going there again.” Peak foliage-viewing is from mid to late October.

When looking at homes, I feel sorry for all the buyers out there using up tanks of gas driving around neighborhoods. I have listed a dynamically updated gas map so you can see where to get the best prices! Visit GAS MAP

Fortunately, Asheville does not experience the kind of traffic problems found in many cities. However, when issues crop up, the City Council takes action.

Note: Edwin turns into Kimberly Avenue

If, one day, you happen to be zipping down Kimberly Avenue, don’t be surprised to see a host of “Slow down” and “We have little children” signs dotting the spacious yards.
