BLOWING ROCK, N.C. – Blowing Rock Tourism has found a way to bring you to the area through your computer screen.

The executive director says the town has been suffering through quarantine with most of its shops closed and hotels shuttered. The town has put out two virtual hikes to give you a chance to explore from your home.

One of the hikes takes you to the waterfalls and the other takes you through Rough Rdge to see amazing views.

 



Blowing Rock Tourism Executive Director Tracy Brown says this is the town's way of reminding visitors that after this is over, the trails will still be there, the parkway will still be there, and Blowing Rock will be waiting.

"This is just a way for us to connect with them and say, 'hey we are thinking about you and when you come back these are the trails you can come back to,' " Brown says.
