Vacation Spot: Nantahala, North Carolina

Hey, everybody! My name is Liz, and I’m Hannah’s younger sister. She asked me to write a guest blog post for her website, so here I am. (I know...I’m the best sister ever right?!) Anyways, back to the point. I recently took a senior girls trip to Nantahala, North Carolina, with my best friends and a couple of their moms. It was one the most fun trips I’ve been on, and I wanted to share some of the wonderful things we did!

During our trip, we stayed at the Appalachian Lodge, a beautiful cabin that overlooks the magnificent Nantahala Mountains. The cabin even comes equipped with a hot tub, which we spent almost every night in lol. My birthday just so happened to be during this trip, and my friends did not fail in making it a special one! On the first day there, we celebrated my birthday by going tubing down the Nantahala River. You can rent tubes fairly cheap and spend all day floating down the rapids.

The next thing on our agenda was Dollywood, so the next morning we got up and drove to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee! Dollywood was one of my favorite parts of this trip. My friends and I rode so many roller coasters that day-I’m surprised we didn’t get sick! Unfortunately, all of the show attractions were shut down due to coronavirus. Regardless, we still had a great time looking in shops, admiring the southern look, and riding rides.

My favorite activity of the entire trip was rafting down the Nantahala River. You may think that rafting and tubing are basically the same, but rafting is like tubing to the extreme. Our raft guide, from Brookside Camping & Rafting in Topton, NC, was one of the kindest people I have ever met.

Overall, this trip was a huge success, and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to travel with my awesome best friends.
