Asheville mountain air
Asheville has long been a favorite retreat for those who live at the coast. Many people come from Florida to getaway from the heat and enjoy the cool mountain air. In the 1800’s, doctors used to recommend people come here to rejuvenate particularly if the person had tuberculosis. Something about the mountain air here. Today, there are plenty of day spas in the area. The Grove Park Inn has a very nice spa where you can pamper yourself. There’s a golf course here too.
About that cool mountain air … the city of Asheville can get pretty hot (90’s) in the summertime. However, you can drive a short distance away up into the mountains or back into the woods by a stream and feel the difference in temperature. The drop in temperature is anywhere from 10-20 degrees depending on where you go.
