Where in the world is Brevard?

Seventy-five percent of the United States population is within a one-day drive of Brevard.

In other words, you probably live a lot closer to us than you think!

Hey y’all! 👋 @e.mcgrady and @carolineperdue of @authenticasheville here and we’re going to take you on another Trail to Town adventure! Today we’re starting our trek out in downtown Brevard at the @cupandsaucernc (👉 through for lovely photos of their space.) The folks at this local coffee shop are super friendly and they serve up a ton of delicious drink options: everything from pourers to lattes to kombucha to sparkling water. Plus the space is super welcoming and warm. Settle in for a cup of coffee or two but don’t get too cozy cause the mountains are calling and today we’re headed to Sassafras Mountain. 🙏

This is one of the coolest spots to catch a sunset (or a sunrise for that matter) because once you make the short hike to the top (5 minutes or less) you’ll have a stunning, 360-degree view of the surrounding area. Oh, and if you’ve ever wanted to stand in both North Carolina and South Carolina at the same time … here’s your chance. Pop on over to our stories to see more of our adventure. Happy trails! 🍂

Hey! 👋 We’re @e.mcgrady and @carolineperdue of @authenticasheville and we’re super excited to do a two-day Trail to Town Instagram takeover on the Explore Brevard account! To start out, we’re gonna go for a hike in the nearby Bracken Preserve. 🌱

This is an awesome 395 acre wilderness just west of downtown. There are three trail networks within the preserve and they’re open to hikers and mountain bikers. The Bracken Mtn Trail (blue blazes) is an out and back of 4.2 miles but you can do a loop if you pick up the Brush Creek Trail (red blazes). 🌱

Once you’ve had your fill of trails (is that even possible?!) head downtown for a nice, cold, locally-brewed beer from @brevard_brewing_co. They’ve got a ton of great beers on tap as well as to go. We love their American IPA. It’s super drinkable and flavorful and with just enough citrus in it to quench your thirst after time on the trail. Hop on over to our stories to see more of our adventure and check back tomorrow to see one of our new favorite hiking spots. 🌱

Breathtaking capture of Sassafras Mountain from Photographer + Explorer @e.mcgrady, 1/2 of the @authenticasheville team alongside Photographer, Travel Writer, and Fellow Adventurer @carolineperdue. We're excited to share that they'll be taking over our Instagram account for the next two days, sharing two 'Trail to Town' excursions for all of you to add to your lists for upcoming fall and winter visits to Brevard. We can't wait to see what they capture as they wander along the trails and into the local breweries, coffee shops, and eateries. Go ahead and give them a follow and stay tuned for more in the next 48 hours. 🍂

Thanks to @mountainxpress for featuring Translyvania County Tourism's focus on funding environmental conservation this week. "In 2017 the county's tourism board launched the Transylvania Always initiative, which has since invested thousands of occupancy tax dollars into everything from hiking trail restoration to French Broad River cleanup. That nature-focused approach, Clark Lovelace Executive Director of the Transylvania County Tourism Development Authority, told Mountain Xpress, may offer other county tourism agencies new insight into promoting visitation while maintaining the integrity of the region's unique mountain landscape. 🌿
.
"I really don't know of anywhere else, particularly anywhere else of our small size, that is doing anything similar," he shares. "I think for a variety of reasons, our board, has focused on going beyond marketing and promoting and bringing visitors here, and saw our role as one that goes a little deeper." 🌿

If you live in the area, pick up a copy on newsstands this weekend while you're out taking in all the beautiful fall colors. 🌿

With a full day of rain in the forecast and dropping temperatures, it's a good thing everyone was able to don their most bewitching costumes for Brevard's annual Halloweenfest last week. @the_transylvania_times shared these most spoOooky photos from the goblins and ghouls that took the streets. Were you there? We would love to hear what you dressed up as or what your favorite costume was below. 🎃
