Asheville has the highest elevation of a city its size east of the Mississippi River. Situated in the French Broad River Valley, we are surrounded on all sides by mile-high mountain peaks, majestic rivers, and hundreds of thousands of acres of protected forests. 

Our unique region attracts millions of residents each year because there is no place quite like western North Carolina’s blend of culture and nature.
