The 30 Best Blue Ridge Mountain Towns to Visit in 2025
January 21, 2025 by Bret and Mary
Over the 5 years since we launched Blue Ridge Mountains Travel Guide, our team has visited 70-80 different towns in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia (not including those we’ve driven through, but not actually stayed in).
So narrowing it all down to a list of 30 mountain towns was no easy feat!
What makes a great mountain town? For us, it typically involves a downtown area worth exploring, cool cultural offerings (great food, music, art, etc), a bit of history, and enough natural beauty to provide an escape for those who seek it.
