Apple Picking
Early November is the tail end of apple season in the Blue Ridge, but you can still get good pickin's. Hickory Nut Gap Farm is a working mountain farm in Fairview with a farm store, fresh-pressed cider, and fall weekend hayrides. For u-pick, head to Hendersonville (NC's apple capital) where 20+ orchards line the hills — Jeter Mountain Farm offers 25+ apple varieties across 400 acres. Call ahead to confirm picking availability.

Visit site ↗Kuwohi Observation Tower
Pictured twice on this site, Kuwohi is the third tallest peak east of the Mississippi and the highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains -- and it sits right on the Appalachian Trail! The 1.3-mile hike to the tower is short and steep, but you can be rewarded with a 360° panorama view of the Smokies. Highly recommend doing a sunrise hike on a clear morning. November may be past peak fall colors, but the views are jaw-dropping any time. Feeling ambitious? Continue 1.5 miles down Forney Ridge Trail to Andrews Bald, a sweeping grassy bald with open mountain views.
