As one of the premier cities for outdoor activities, Asheville is second-to-none. With thousands of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, wilderness and city camping options, hundreds of waterfalls, whitewater rafting, and access to zip line canopy tours, there is enough adventure here to encompass a lifetime. However, the Asheville-experience does not stop when the sun goes down. Nightlife is just as important and prevalent in Beer City.
