The climbing wall is a great place to start and very affordable. We all enjoyed it! Carter and Eli were our guides to the REAL thing, they were very experienced, we felt super safe. They pushed us all and made the trip an incredible memory for ages 9-56.

Andrew was our guide and the experience was better than I could ever had hoped for. Andrew pays close attention to all the safety aspects of climbing yet made it completely fun for them and encouraged them all the way. I have done guided climbs with other climbing outfits, mostly in CA, and this was the best experience I have had over 20+ years. Thank you! I highly recommend Rock Dimensions and their guide Andrew!

A heads up from the get-go, this is not a rope-based climbing gym. They're in a warehouse without…read morehigh ceilings so top rope and course setting including clip-in points is not a thing here. There is another place in Boone for that, though admittedly their hours are much shorter. I was happy to find this place open on a Saturday evening until 10pm. There's plenty of wall space if there are just a few climbers here but I bet it can easily get crowded. There is lots of other equipment for cross training, but most of it is quite dated. Like something your dad or uncle had in their garage in their teens and 20s. A rusted fan-bike and nylon wrapped, thin foam padded bench. There's a cool "moon board" on the opposite side of the gym at a 40 degree angle. I personally have a hard enough time climbing vertical walls though. There are some rings and balls suspended from the ceiling for you to impress your friends or yourself with some gymnastics level moves. And of course lots of fingerboard options. Normally a Saturday would be packed I bet but I came in during an event elsewhere in town that was specifically popular with the climbing types. So I basically had the gym to myself. At a price of $14 (I brought my own shoes and chalk, not sure if they rent them) it was in line with the gym back home in Charlotte. There's a waiver process that will take you a few minutes to complete. The bathrooms are large and there's a relatively limited amount of cubby space to put your stuff. The hand holds felt tight and I didn't find a single spinner. I was able to clear all of their V0s, most of their V1s and one of their V2s. As you can see I'm barely a bouldering beginner but I will say these seemed to fall in line with my expectation for difficulty. Lastly, the music choice for the evening I was there was not kid friendly and not really to my liking. I imagine it would be different on crowded days or if children were here. All considered though, I would definitely come back.

Where to start! I made a reservation for a party of 4 at noon and we got there it was super…read moredisorganized. So the employees were scrambling with a few guest. They ignored us until 12:30 then Ruben one of the employees stated are you going tubing and I told him to look at our reservation it was for kayak. So then the unload of the kayaks that we filled with dirt and ants. Finally, Ruben calls us to the launch area and asks my husband to help him pull the kayaks in the water! After on the river we had to get out of the kayaks as the river was too low. So it was a river walking tour pulling the kayaks. After that get to the take out to be greeted by Ruben again. He stood on top of the hill and ask my husband to give him the paddles, and life jackets. If that wasn't enough he ask my husband to pull the kayak up hillside and to help him take the kayaks in top of the van. Also, the changing trailer was out of order as there were bees and wasp in them. I will not recommend this to anyone!i

One of North Carolina's most iconic sights, Chimney Rock towers proudly above the Hickory Nut…read moreGorge, just west of Lake Lure and about 25 miles southeast of Asheville. The top of this 315-foot high 'gneiss monolith' is accessible to visitors via either a winding series of stairs or a convenient elevator, depending on your stamina level. But regardless of how you ascend, the spectacular view from the summit is well worth the time and effort. Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to the park and to the river valley below, which still looked like a scar across the landscape when we visited 15 months later. Still, many of the hikes, including the Four Seasons trail, from the lower parking lot to the base of Chimney Rock, have been reopened and are well worth exploring if you have the time. One highly recommended adventure is the 1.5-mile (round-trip) Hickory Nut Trail, which leads to the base of one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi. Movie buffs will recognize the falls from the 1992 film 'Last of the Mohicans,' a portion of which was filmed here. Adult admission to the park is $17 for the day, and passes can be booked online in advance. There are gift shops, snacks and facilities available at multiple locations, including both the upper and lower lots and near the summit of Chimney Rock. Yes, it's an expensive outing, so try to take advantage of the many trails and sights this expansive park has to offer. We made a fairly quick stop on our recent trip, but plan on coming back next summer to hike to the base of Hickory Nut Falls and explore the Skyline Trail along the top of the ridgeline. After you leave the park, be sure to spend some time visiting the shops and restaurants in the Town of Chimney Rock, just across the Broad River. Devastated by Helene, this resilient community is still recovering, and tourist dollars are an essential lifeline. No visit to the North Carolina mountains is complete with a stop at Chimney Rock State Park. It's an unforgettable experience in one of America's most scenic regions, and a special place that you'll want to come back to again and again.

FIRST OF ALL: $13 dollars for parking. You're not an airport you're an outdoor adventure center…read more That's being generous as is. SECOND OF ALL: You all make how much each day off of your visitors and you can't put up a single sign? You have rinkie dink maps that don't provide accurate directions to each location. THIRD OF ALL: Once you get to the location for an event (such as the North Rim Zip line) you have to get in line just to be told you have to walk to another location across a suspension bridge to get your gear. WITHOUT A SIGN mind you. A random 12 year old informed me. FOURTH OF ALL: You have one worker trying to get visitors geared up for the event and that same worker to undo their gear while others are waiting. LASTLY: A number of the attractions are closed as of me writing this. 60% of the rock wall and rock wall over the pool are closed down. If you're going to charge people for an "all day, all activities" pass, make sure you either notify or give a discount to compensate for the closed down activities. Absolute troglodyte behavior on behalf of management. Close down and try again.

From our first phone call to book our climbing adventure to the minute we left the parking lot at the trailhead, Pisgah Climbing was professional, prompt, attentive, safe and super fun. Our guide was quick to figure out our skill and knowledge level in order to customize our climbing so that we felt adequately challenged but not in over our heads. One of us was more capable than the other and yet we still each were given a chance to try different pitches, and even repel! Having a guide that was informed about the local area, wildlife, (brought bug repellent for chiggers, which we didn't know about), and made it easy for us to meet up and get to the trailhead made all the difference. The equipment they use is well maintained and this guide was highly skilled. He was a good teacher/coach too. An excellent guide can read people and make smart, quick decisions based on conversation to build trust quickly with the participants. We had not one iota of doubt in our guide. This was pricey for us, but worth every bit of the cost.
