A weekend guide to Boone, Banner Elk, and Blowing Rock, North Carolina. My family loves traveling to the NC mountains for a quick weekend getaway. My husband grew up in the area and we always visit multiple times a year so we know our way around the area. As we are typically traveling from Charlotte, we usually go to Boone on the way in, stay in Banner Elk, and come back through Blowing Rock to hit all our favorite places. We also love to bring our dog to the mountains with us so most places you see in this itinerary are dog friendly.
