The whimsical Land of Oz theme park atop Beech Mountain offers a yellow brick road less traveled. After outdoor adventures, sample local vintages at Banner Elk Winery or visit Apple Hill Farm to meet alpacas with mountain views. Lees-McRae College adds youthful energy to this small town, while Grandfather Trout Farm lets visitors catch dinner without needing pro-level angling skills. For water-based fun, paddle the gentle currents of Watauga River where the scenery upstages the occasional splash.
