In just a few short weeks, public schools across central North Carolina will be releasing students for summer break. Many families will take the opportunity during the summer months to explore new places and try new family activities. North Carolina is a beautiful state to experience in the summertime, from the mountains in the west, the beaches in the east and so much in between. If you and your family are looking for neat ways to get outdoors this summer, ZipQuest has some ideas for you.

Explore the Appalachian Trail. The entire west border of North Carolina is home to some of the grandest mountain views you will ever see. Tourists will find no shortage of trails to hike and rivers to explore. For the best possible North Carolina mountain experience, we suggest that you visit Mt. Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi River, located a little more than 30 miles north of Asheville. You simply cannot beat the views!

Enjoy the Atlantic Ocean. North Carolina borders the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and there are plenty of amazing beach towns to explore. The most popular are the Outer Banks, which includes Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Roanoke Island and Cape Hatteras. Also popular are the southern beaches of Emerald Isle, Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Oak Island. If fun in the sun is your goal, you can’t go wrong with North Carolina beaches.
