Spend a Day (or More) in Cherokee, NC

Posted on |

Have you thought about Cherokee, NC for a fun day trip or vacation? We are always looking for exciting day trips near Upstate, SC, which are fun and great experiences to teach our children about our local history. For this reason, when Visit Cherokee invited us to visit and experience their Yona (Bear) Package that included a visit to The Museum of the Cherokee Indian, the Oconalufee Indian Village, and tickets to Unto These Hills, we were excited to go and share this valuable nearby opportunity to learn about the Cherokee with you.

Here’s what we saw in Cherokee, our thoughts on visiting with children, and some suggestions for places to eat and stay in the Cherokee region.

Day Trip to The Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC

Posted on | No Comments

Thinking about a day trip to the Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, NC? KAG Guest Contributor Lauren Justus visited to the Nantahala Outdoor Center with her family. She’s telling us all about their adventures, with recommendations on things to do and where to eat near the Nantahala Outdoor Center.

I want to tell you about the perfect family day trip to the NC mountains. We left Greenville, SC one Sunday morning, heading toward the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) in Bryson City, NC. This was exactly a two-hour drive for us. It was most definitely worth it. We spent the day enjoying the beautiful sights and sounds of the NOC campus, restaurants, and outfitters store and ended our day with an adventurous tubing experience.
