Greybeard’s Guidebook to Black Mountain & Asheville
Neighborhoods
Downtown Black Mountain, also known as "America's Prettiest Small Town," is beloved my locals and tourists alike. Just 20 minutes from Asheville, Black Mountain is close enough to explore Asheville in a day, but there are so many charming restaraunts, shops, museums, and outdoor activities there, you can easily have the perfect vacation here. As the "front porch of Western North Carolina," the over-sized rocking chairs in the middle of town square are a nod to this "little town that rocks" and a symbol of leisure and easy living.

Hiking & Outdoor Recreation
Within the Town of Black Mountain you'll find another town all its own called Montreat. A popular hike among local college students, families, and out-of-towners, Lookout Mountain is a moderate to difficult hike that is a little over half a mile each way that is accessible from the top of Lookout Road. The peak of this hike offers incredible panoramic views of the mountains, and it's the perfect place to spot the Seven Sisters (a mountain range roughly three and a half miles long of seven neatly ascending “sisters” leading to their “father,” Graybeard Mountain).

Greybeard trail (conveniently located at the top of Greybeard Trail Road) heads to the top of Greybeard Realty and Greybeard Rentals' namesake, Greybeard Mountain, the tallest mountain in Montreat. The hike varies in difficulty but would be considered a moderate (but long) hike. As you can imagine, it takes some time to gain elevation to reach the top of a 5,408-foot summit. It would be good to allow half-a-day for this 6.5-mile round-trip hike. If you're headed to summit Greybeard, make sure to pull off at Walker's Knob Trail, a .16 trail that branches off of Greybeard Trail and leads to a hiking shelter and stunning views of the Montreat valley.
