Things to do in Boone

Boone is the center of North Carolina’s High Country, a cluster of mountain towns that includes Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Linville at elevations of more than 3,000 feet. Appalachian State University gives the town a young, outdoorsy energy, while tourism, second homes, construction and healthcare carry the rest of the economy. Many of the area’s homes belong to families from Charlotte, Florida and the Southeast lowlands who come for cool summers and colorful falls.
