PLAY.
Enjoy some peace and quiet and stunning views at the top of Hawksbill Mountain, then finish the day at Fonta Flora Brewing in nearby Morganton, NC.
Hawksbill Mountain Hiking
This 1.5-mile round-trip hike to the summit of Hawksbill Mountain (elevation 4,009 ft.) has an amazing payoff with panoramic views of the canyon of Linville Gorge Wilderness Area - with the valley floor and Linville River 2,000 ft. below you. On a clear day, you can even see the skyline of Charlotte - about 90 miles away! The strenuous hike climbs about 700 ft. in elevation, so allow plenty of time. It's definitely one of our favorite hikes near Asheville!

2019 Festbier will be on tap at noon, with all new Oktoberfest glassware! It's the best damn festbier in town! A Vienna-style lager, crisp, clean and session-able. It’s got notes of bread, and light citrus with a bright effervescence. 'Tis the season! Prost!

Maßkrugstemmen (Stein Hoist) - 4pm - How long can YOU hold up two steins full of beer? Prizes for strongest man and woman!
