Asheville - a small mountain town with great food and the Biltmore House. Asheville is about an hour away from Spartanburg, west on Interstate 26. Western North Carolina and East Tennessee are full of great areas to hike and camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains and Asheville is a great base for that, as well as whitewater rafting and zip-lining too.
