Small towns like Brevard, NC seem to move to a different rhythm than larger cities. It's one of the reasons we moved here. We enjoy the quieter, slower way of life in the mountains. If you're living a hectic, fast paced life, skip the holiday madness and head to the mountains for a change of altitude. Take some time to enjoy a cool brisk hike through the mountains with nothing but the sound of the crunching leaves under your feet to break the quiet. Stroll leisurely down main street, enjoying the art galleries, shops, and restaurants. At day's end do a little star gazing or just warm your toes by a roaring fire at a creek side cabin.
It's all right here in Brevard, NC. Come this month to enjoy all the holiday festivities and you'll feel like you've been taken back in time and made part of a Norman Rockwell painting.
