TUBE THE WOLF
This new and improved snow tubing park is great fun for everyone. The tube run park is easier than ever. Ride the tube down and ride the “magic carpet” back to the top of the run. The new tube run park is located “off-site” on Punceon Fork Road just before the gate house to Wolf Laurel Slopes. Tickets can be purchased at the tube run. Tubing sessions begin at 9 a.m. (weather permitting). Minimum age for tubing is 3 years-old and must be accompanied by an adult.
The charm of a quaint mountain village awaits you in Blowing Rock,
situated deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains. You'll find enough
adventure to enchant you for days, visit after visit.
The aroma of fresh-made fudge, the subtle sound of a woodcarver's
knife as he whittles a keepsake, and the stroke of a paintbrush
from the hands of an artist all portray some of the enchantment
you can find in nature's masterpiece - Blowing Rock, North Carolina.
Enjoy the cool mountain streams that run through this quiet mountain
town and hiking trails through the green forests. Bear, deer,
and other wildlife roam in a natural habitat at nearby Grandfather
Mountain. Tweetsie Railroad is a tradition for many families,
and The Blowing Rock attracts many thousands of visitors every
year.
