The day of our Nation’s independence is marked by July the 4th. This date (give or take a week) also marks an official beginning to what many who dwell in the mountains call “Creek Season”. “Creek Season” is mountain-speak for the few months throughout the year when one can reach the highest of mountain waters to wet a line and fish for the most elusive of native cutthroat as well as brook and rainbow trout. The High Country, as most know it; calls to explorative anglers to seek new adventures and find a wondrous sense of loneness.
Here is the deal: for every lake or creek talked about by a fly shop employee or local guide; there are 10 that he isn’t telling you about. And for the 10 that he isn’t telling you about, there may be 20 that he doesn’t even know about. That is the nature or the mountains; no one can know everything about ever piece of water. In our local Weminuche Wilderness, there is more water than one could fish in 3 lifetimes.
Now before you get your feelings hurt because a local fly fishing guru isn’t a free flowing machine of information; just remember that anyone who has been a fly fisherman for any amount of time has had to bear their secret spot eventually becoming overfished. Most are protective of places close to their heart. The ultimate truth is that there is no such thing as a secret spot; only lesser known fisheries that garner some publicity over time. The bright news to this is, while many keep great locations close to the chest, there is nothing stopping you from finding your trout haven in the mountains.
It's always the right time of year to visit stunning Falls Creek. Whether you live to ski or snowboard, love to cycle or just need a place to relax, your all-season adventure awaits.
Visit Falls Creek in the wintertime and discover a stunning alpine village with snow-covered streets, twisted snow gums and rolling views of the surrounding mountains.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, you'll reap the benefits of Victoria's largest snow making facilities and the steepest and deepest skiing and boarding. Get the pulse racing on challenging downhill slopes, hit the terrain parks, explore the back-country double blacks with an Australian Olympians tour guide or hear the kids squeal with delight on the toboggan runs.
It’s almost that time of year again when the air turns crisp and the leaves change into gorgeous bursts of color. Fall is a time when there is nearly a festival happening every weekend, and always a football game on television to enjoy. We hope that you are planning your autumn trips already and booking now because these dates sell out quickly. This is arguably one of the most popular times of the year to visit the High Country and it’s always smart to plan ahead if you want to stay at our historic Bed and Breakfast in Boone NC.
This fun annual Labor Day weekend event takes place in the highest locale in the High Country, atop Beech Mountain. This event features vendors, music, contests and lots of cool kite flying.
Autumn at Oz Festival Beech Mountain – Dates September 9-11, 2016
The best time to be at Oz is during autumn. You can check out artifacts from the movie set, meet characters and ride the chairlift and see panoramic views. This event is truly spectacular for Dorothy and Oz fans everywhere and always sells out.
