Beech Mountain is Eastern America’s highest town (elevation 5,506) and is a perfect four-season getaway. Folks come to Beech for a Blue Ridge escape. There are well-maintained hiking trails, bike routes made famous by Lance Armstrong, resort accommodations, vacation rentals, fantastic restaurants, and one of the best ski resorts on the East Coast offering premier skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and ice skating.
For the less adventurous, the Beech Mountain Club offers spectacular golf and a myriad of summer programs for children and adults, while the state-of-the-art Buckeye Recreation Center provides fitness and other activities in 22,500 square feet of comfort.
Popular events include the Mile High Kite Festival in September, the Autumn of Oz Celebration in October, plus street dances and concerts in the park all summer.
Speaking of summer, Beech Mountain is a cool diversion. The high temperate has exceeded 72 degrees only a handful of times since an official weather service reporting station was established in 1992.
