Blowing Rock, North Carolina
Blowing Rock, North Carolina
The town of Blowing Rock North Carolina got its name from the four-thousand foot cliffs that tower over the Johns River.
When standing on those cliffs, on a windy day, you can experience an upward gust so powerful that you can toss a light object over the edge and have it blown back up at you.
If heights make you nervous, the town should provide a safe and enjoyable respite.
