Don't miss a drive along The Blue Ridge Parkway. https://www.blueridgeparkway.org/ Go down Hickory Nut Gap Road back toward Banner Elk and take a right on 184/Shawneehaw Ln towards 105. On 105 take a right towards Linville. Take 221 towards Blowing Rock and you will come to the Parkway entrance. Check for closures during ice/snow.

Continue South along the Parkway to Linville Caverns http://www.linvillecaverns.com/ where you can go deep beneath the mountain, and see the trout swimming in the streams under your feet!

Or take a picnic lunch and stop at one of the picnic tables with views or by a stream along The Parkway.
A bit further south you can walk off your lunch and visit Crabtree Falls https://www.romanticasheville.com/crabtree_falls.htm 
Another day trip, head North on The Parkway this time and you will drive over the Linn Cove Viaduct.
