Last year and this year have been exceptional winters in Asheville due to the increase in wintry-like weather.  In year's past I can recall climbing at Rumbling Bald in January in a T-shirt and shorts!  So far this January I've been out cross-country skiing on the Blue Ridge Parkway and had quite a few hikes on snow-covered trails.  With the help of a 4-wheel drive vehicle I hiked on the Pilot Cove/Slate Rock Trail in Mills River (Henderson County) this past weekend.

With so many things to do in the area, there's no reason to get cabin fever!  After a day in the cold, you can warm up at a new restaurant that serves Indian food:  Cinnamon Kitchen.  My husband and I tried it on a whim one evening in December.  We don't know a lot about Indian cuisine, but we both enjoyed the dishes we selected and we definitely plan to return for another meal.  The service was great and there was plenty of food.  I brought home enough for another two meals.

My blog is about all the fun things to do in the Asheville area of North Carolina.  Apparently others think the state of NC is a great place to be as well based on a recent article I read in the Triangle Business Journal about the number of people moving to North Carolina.
