Asheville's Atmosphere

Just before you cross into Gatlinburg, Tennessee, you’ll find a town different than your typical Southern city. The small, yet energetic, city of Asheville rests within the valley of the Appalachian Mountains between the Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers. The heart of the city reveals new age aesthetics that influence many tourists, including former President Barack Obama, to visit the town regularly. Others travel to Asheville for the geographic diversity that surrounds it.
