Blowing Rock has captivated visitors with its breathtaking views since 1933, making it North Carolina’s oldest travel attraction. Perched 4,000 feet above sea level, this dramatic cliff offers a one-of-a-kind experience. The winds here are truly something to behold—blowing through a natural flume created by the overhanging Johns River Gorge, which sits 3,000 feet below. Whether you're there to take in the view or explore the surrounding area, it's a spot that’s sure to leave you in awe.
