Ashe County has a myriad of fascinating activities and points of interest. Hike Mt. Jefferson, explore dozens of mountain trails, and canoe down the New River. For a change of pace, stop by the quaint shops in Jefferson and West Jefferson. The renowned frescoes of St. Mary’s Church will enthrall art lovers, as will an array of art galleries and festivals coordinated by the Ashe Arts Center. Enjoy folk art at the Northwest Trading Post on the Blue Ridge Parkway, or go skiing in nearby Banner Elk. There’s a calendar of activities for you to enjoy. Or better yet, simply sit back and enjoy the breathtaking views.
