Asheville Area

Most of western North Carolina's accessible wild lands are managed in large chunks by state and federal agencies, but smaller pockets of public and private holdings can be equally impressive.  Most have been photographed far less than their popular peers.  Some of the area highlights are described in the Hickory Nut Gorge article, as well as in links under individual photographs.
