US 276 through Pisgah National Forest, you will
pass the Cradle of Forestry, Sliding Rock and enter
into the one of Transylvania County’s most iconic
landscapes. The lush foliage and spectacular
waterfalls may recall a storybook fantasy, but the
opportunities for adventure and relaxation are very
real. In all, Transylvania County is home to over
150,000 acres of public lands, represented by
Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest and
Gorges State Park. Of course, not all of our attractions
are on the wild side. Just beyond the forest is the
charming, historic city of Brevard, voted one of the
“Coolest Small Towns in America,” by Budget Travel.
Here you’ll fi nd vibrant local art, culture, outstanding
restaurants and the soaring melodies of the Brevard
