Reply to comment by Scoobs197 in What is your favorite thing about Virginia? by reignthepain

I disagree. If you have not been to the Smokie Mtns area you have not seen the best of NC. It is probably a pretty good distance from the beach area though.

It is. The wife and I are planning to make our way out there in early summer.

My distain for NC is most concentrated to the "suburban hellscape of Raleigh/Durham".

I wasn't trying to start beef, but I will not apologize for saying that Virginia is better than North Carolina. It is.

Haha. I'm not from NC, but I reaaaaaly love the Smokies. I have not been to Asheville, but I definitely recommend Maggie Valley, Cherokee, and Waynesville is a neat little town similar to a small Harrisonburg without the college. Gatlinburg is okay but very crowded and touristy as well as Pigeon Forge and traffic is a nightmare. I would only recommend going that way for all of the great nearby parks and scenic drives. Definitely recommend Clingmans Dome and the Cherohala Skyway beats out Skyline Drive by a mile. You really cannot go wrong exploring the whole area.
