One of the most attractive aspects of Asheville, N.C., living is experiencing the region’s distinct seasons – and fall holds an allure all its own. Crisp mornings, sunny afternoons and vibrant mountain hues make this a favorite time for locals and visitors alike. Mosaic Realty brokers are excited to share some of their go-to autumn adventures, each one offering a glimpse into what makes living in Asheville so special.
Colorful Fall Leaves
Autumn’s transformation in the Blue Ridge Mountains provides for breathtaking surroundings. A leisurely drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway to such popular destinations as Craggy Gardens, Graveyard Fields and Mount Pisgah boasts sweeping, vibrant vistas aglow in fall’s fiery hues. For a more immersive experience, hike along trails like Max Patch or Bearwallow Mountain to enjoy panoramic views stretching for miles. Cooler temperatures and bright skies make this the ideal season for exploring the outdoors.
Enjoying Harvest in Asheville
Fall brings a bounty of flavors to the Asheville area. Mosaic brokers love visiting nearby orchards such as Sky Top, Justus and Altapass, where crisp apples, cider slushies and mountain views make for a perfect afternoon. Local markets overflow with pumpkins, gourds, and late-season produce, perfect for anyone settling into a new Asheville-area home and wanting to embrace farm-to-table living.
Exploring fall’s trails and waterfalls in WNC
With the summer crowds gone and the air refreshingly cool, hiking and waterfall chasing are top fall pastimes for Mosaic’s brokers. Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State Recreational Forest both shine this time of year, with favorites like Looking Glass Falls and Triple Falls framed by brilliant foliage. Whether it’s a quick morning outing or a full-day adventure, these trails showcase the natural beauty that surrounds Asheville.
Celebrate the season with the Asheville community
Autumn weekends bring a lively lineup of events, from downtown Asheville’s Oktoberfest celebrations to local art tours and harvest festivals. The River Arts District Studio Stroll, seasonal farmers’ markets, and live outdoor music in downtown’s Pack Square make it easy to connect with Asheville’s creative spirit. If you’re interested in exploring everything Asheville has to offer this time of year, these events provide a window into the welcoming, vibrant community that makes living here so special.
Discover cozy Asheville area mountain towns
Fall is also the perfect season for short getaways to neighboring mountain towns like Black Mountain, Weaverville and Waynesville. These Mosaic broker favorites feature their own array of galleries, cafés and local charm, just a scenic drive away.
