Συμβουλές για την πόλη

Μην το χάσετε

Coexisting with Black Bears

The largest wild mammal in North Carolina, the black bear awes and fascinates visitors with it’s barrel-shaped body, powerful limbs, and glossy coat. While sighting a bear from distance can be entertaining and educational, you can take some steps to avoid interactions that might become dangerous. Q.: What should I do if I see a bear? A.: Try to stay calm. Bears are usually wary of people unless humans feed or provoke them. Never feed, approach, surround or corner the bear. If it changes its natural behaviors because of your presence, you are too close. Back away slowly, making lots of noise.

Make Reservations

With all the attractions I would always check online for their opening schedules and the way you buy tickets. With restaurants, I would also suggest to make reservations for dinner, it does get busy especially during weekends.

Transportation

Make sure you have a four wheel drive car or snow chains during cold season, as mountain roads have lots of turns & slopes and can be icy and covered in snow. Drive Safe!
