out brysoncityBryson City earned the top honor in Blue Ridge Outdoors’ list of top outdoor towns of 2014, which appeared in November’s issue.

 

More than 85,000 people voted over a four-week period to determine the winner. 

“With Great Smoky Mountains National Park and world-class whitewater at its doorstep, Bryson City is the perfect base camp for big adventure,” said Will Harlan, BRO editor-in-chief. “The Tuck flows right through town, and the Appalachian Trail, Nantahala River, Fontana Lake and Tsali singletrack are just a stone’s throw away.”

Bryson City wasn’t the only town in Western North Carolina to get some credit. Robbinsville took second place.
