Just down the mountain in neighboring Old Fort, this is a relatively gentle out & back trail (2.7 mile round trip) that brings you to a beautiful waterfall. This is a favorite for the area, so parking can be a little challenging during peak hours.

If looking for a hike a little further away, look no further than the Craggy Pinnacle hike up on the Blue Ride Pkwy. It's an absolutely beautiful 50 minute drive. Hike itself is a moderate short (round trip ~1 mile) journey to a fantastic observation area.

If looking for easy access to a hike where you can enjoy the solitude of the mountains for hours, Greybeard Trail might be your ticket. This is a 9 mile round trip, so plan accordingly. Note the best view by far is a small detour about a mile away from the summit - Walker's Knob.

A 3 minute walk from the Carriage House, the 1/2 mile trail that loops around Lake Tomahawk is a must. Absolutely beautiful views throughout the hike, no wonder it was voted as Black Mountain's #1 outdoor amenity by the locals!

Admittedly a biased opinion here (I'm heavily involved w/ this organization), cheapest beer in town and a short walk from the carriage house. If looking for a dive bar to enjoy some beers while supporting the veteran community, look no further. This place is open to everyone. It's a very low key but always friendly and fun place to stop by.

City/town information
If you want to make a day out of visiting Asheville, here are some recommendations:
Downtown Asheville - Park at the grove arcade area and walk towards the old vance monument area. There's lots of places to shop but make sure you check the opening times. There's a cafeteria called S&W cafeteria that's got some really great places to eat and drink for a quick stop.
Another great shopping area is West Asheville. Park around Provisions Mercantile, it’s centrally located and there are some unique/fun stores around there.
There's a good restaurant called Carmel's which would be great for people watching. It's near the Grove arcade.
Also, a local favorite restaurant is 9 Mile.
