Brevard and surrounds
Sightseeing
Mountain biking and hikes. Closer and a bit more gentle than Pisgah. Short hikes to High Falls, Triple Falls, and Hooker Falls. Swimming at Hooker Falls and Fawn Lake. Lots of longer hike and bike options too.

Pisgah Forest
Pisgah National Forest is a mountain biking and hiking mecca. So many trails, waterfalls, and views to discover. You can drive through Pisgah Forest to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway too.
One of our favorite day trips with visitors -- exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway (BRP). You can loop up from Rosman (215) and down through Pisgah National Forest (276), go up & back through Pisgah, or up through Pisgah and take BRP to Asheville for a longer trip. Favorite spots include Devil's Courthouse, Skinny Dip Falls, Black Balsam Knob, Fryingpan Mountain Lookout Tower, and the Pisgah Inn.
The Pisgah Inn is open seasonally -- the shop has sandwiches, drinks and snacks, and outside there are rocking chairs with a view.
Note: In winter, the Blue Ridge Parkway is often closed to traffic (not maintained in winter weather); check nps website for updates. But you can drive and park at the parkway intersection, then hike or bike on the parkway without any cars!

Many more exploring options for longer stays
There is a lot to explore in the Brevard area. If you have more time, Asheville (Downtown, River Arts district, Biltmore Estate, and more awesome food and breweries) and Greenville are about an hour away. Gorges State Park, apple orchards (with Fall festivities), and wineries are also within an hour drive.
