BEST VACATION EVER | West Jefferson NC

  • For those of you looking to visit and for things to do in the mountains of West Jefferson, Lansing, and Ashe County, NC outside of Boone (30 mins from Appalachian State) - this video is for you.
    In this video, my family and I explore this area's outdoor activities, restaurants, breweries, shops, parks, creeks, rivers, mountains, and more attractions on a Mahindra Roxor SXS from Unseen Pass, located on 2nd Street in West Jefferson.
    You'll get to see New River Brewing, Hole Lotta Doughnuts, Mountain Outfitters, Pie on the Mountain, Grayson Highlands Park, Bluff Mountain View, the New River, Pond Mountain, Helton Creek, WhiteTop Mountain, and much more on the back side of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
    Use this video as a reference guide to plan your trip. West Jefferson is only a 2 hr drive from Charlotte and a 3 hr drive from Raleigh, NC. Come explore Western North Carolina (WNC) and this quick get away. Do something different outside of the norm, like tubing or kayaking on the river, and rent a Roxor from Unseen Pass.
    I’d like to thank Kyle for having us out. Here is a link to his SxS rental business and don’t forget to use code brianfarming21 for a discount

    I've camped out at Grayson Highlands Park and that's some beautiful country. I think it's also the last time I was somewhere with absolutely no cell phone signal which was great as well. Must have been 5 years ago.

    when we were living in Atlanta, we would head for the mountains every chance we got and just take a road or trail and see where it brought us. You would be surprised at what we found but, sometimes, it would have been nice to have it mapped out for us, like you did.

      I think the highest peak is 6600 in the eastern half of the country but what’s your low points. In ohio we are typically always around 6-700 feet so a 1500 foot hill sticks out some

    • @SocietyIsDoomed
      @SocietyIsDoomed 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@BriansFarmingVideos 3315 on the Arikaree River is the lowest elevation. I moved from Leadville (10,000 ft.) to Denver (5280 ft.) so now living a mile high. In leadville i could look out my window to see Mount Elbert Peak (14000) close enough i could almost reach out and touch it.
      I'm from PA and hiked the 3 highest peaks in NY. The mountains out here make the east coast mountains look like childs play.

    There is trees out west in the mountains. Aspen, pines buck brush, willow along the creeks. Lots of cool places to see and most of it over six thousand feet you know like Teton and Yellowstone and glacier national park then you go south and see. Zion and arches and the Grand Canyon go east to Durango androckymoutain state park. Just way too many things to see need years to see it all

  • @the32712

    We farm in Pond Mountain. Y'all probably come through our area. You think the jeep is hairy, imagine hauling 16ft to 20ft farm trailers loaded with hay, or livestock, or feed on them roads. Gotta rely on your neighbors if you get stuck! If you get hurt they gotta fly you outta here in a helicopter rather than an ambulance. The law is 30mins to an hour away usually, so your neighbor is your 911.
    Winter brings snow drifts of 6ft to 40ft. Yes, that's not a typo. In the winter of 1960 the drifts fully covered grown locust trees. Winter starts in November and ends in mid-may. In the winter the wind whips off the top of Pond and downslopes into the eastern "valleys" at 3500ft. 40 to 60mph gusts are very common. Can't overwinter much out here.
