The best time to visit Asheville North Carolina is anytime as there is always something to do in or outside of town. Fall seems to be the most popular time to visit Asheville NC because of the Autumn colors. This is the busiest season as the Blue Ridge Parkway offers spectacular views. There are 4 Blue Ridge Parkway entrances near Asheville. Consider visiting in Summer, as in June and early July, the Rhododendrons are in bloom blanketing the mountainsides with vivid color. But when making your travel plans to the Asheville NC area you must also consider Spring for the unique beauty of Biltmore Estates with the gardens blooming. Winter can not be overlooked either for ski buffs looking for North Carolina ski resorts. Consider Wolf Laurel ski resort which is about 30 minutes from Asheville or popular Boone NC. Christmas holidays bring holiday cheer to the Biltmore House and the Grove Park Inn resort. Both of these Asheville attractions are worth visiting over the holidays for the beauty of their Christmas decorations alone.
