Ready for winter in Banner Elk? Think snow! (Maybe a White Halloween??) Make plans for winter fun with two ski areas overlooking town - plus snow tubing, sledding, snowy walks and plenty more. It's time to book places to stay, especially for holiday periods. See more things to do: https://www.bannerelk.com/postings/winter-is-better-here/

The color is here!!

Fall color is just a few weeks away. Remember, it's all about elevation. Higher cooler elevations change first and peak first. Then it works its way down to the lower elevations; these are the mean dates for peak color, plus or minus 5 days. 🍂 🍁
