Hey Atlantans! Get out of the city and head for the hills – to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC, a short (and scenic) 200 mile drive from home.

When you get here, you’ll want to make sure you see our beautiful mountain home from every possible angle, so be sure to join us in the trees to zipline at Navitat Canopy Adventures. Located just 20 minutes from beautiful downtown, Navitat’s home — Moody Cove — is a special place. Here, you’ll find an adventure tour nestled seamlessly into the natural environment. As many have said, it just seems like it “belongs here.” Hidden among 242-acres of wilderness, you’ll feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of life in busy Atlanta.

Why is Asheville the perfect destination (and Navitat the perfect adventure) for our friends from Atlanta? Because our cities are in the midst of a blossoming love affair. It’s true!

Last year, the folks over at the Asheville Convention & Visitors Bureau (you know them online as the awesome www.exploreasheville.com) even brought Asheville to Atlanta with their clever “30 Days of Asheville” campaign. The CVB, with the help of Asheville residents, took to the road to share a taste of Asheville with you, our friends just a little further south. From fabulous food and brew, to art, music and incredible outdoor adventure offerings, Asheville has it goin’ on (if we do say so ourselves).

So Atlanta, Georgia residents: Make your way to Asheville, North Carolina. The Paris of the South. You’ve just gotta experience this place firsthand. And then, find your way just a little further north to Navitat Canopy Adventures, the area’s only zipline canopy tour featured on CNN, in The New York Times, and called “one of the best in the nation” in USA TODAY. In true southern hospitality, the trees will welcome you. We promise.
