Country Girls RV Park, Bryson City, N.
Carolina
During our second month in Bryson City, we continued to enjoy the many outdoor activities in the area. Since we were here so long, we were able to explore areas that we had never seen before. Driving around the back roads we found many lovely valleys with beautiful properties. Also, there were some depressed areas that we discovered.

We rode
the mountain bikes trails at Tsali and Fire Mountain many times and experienced
some different hiking trails, mostly in the Great Smoky Mountains N.P. Nantahala
Outdoor Center was a favorite visit several times. This is a special place
where white water kayaking/rafting is the prominent sport on the Nantahala
River. Kurt rode the rapids there in our inflatable kayak a few times. Our
camping neighbors were working at NOC and we met them down there to watch the
rafters coming down the river and hitting the large rapids. The center has also
expanded their activities with zip lines, mountain bike trails and tree top
adventures.
I truly
enjoyed Cherokee! We had never really spent much time there (it was only 6
miles north of our RV park). I visited the Cherokee Museum, watched the historical
play, Unto These Hills, and toured the Oconaluftee Indian Village which
portrayed the typical Cherokee village and displayed different aspects of their
daily life. It was so interesting and informative, love the Cherokee history.
There
was a one day county fair just around the corner from the RV park. We spent a
couple of hours at this small fair, meeting some great country people and their
animals! A day trip to Fontana Dam was a reminder of our previous visits to the
area. We drove to more areas than we had visited ever before. In our last week
there, Cherokee hosted a PRCA night rodeo, which we really enjoyed. These small
rodeos are more up close and fun. We always enjoy a rodeo!
Bryson
City still remains as one of our favorite mountain towns. So many friendly
people and so many fun activities outdoors! We will come back again one day. Next
we head further north to Damascus Virginia.
