There is something truly special about the chill in the air as temperatures begin to drop in the High Country. Throughout the year, @blowingrocknc has been taking on a trail each week as part of @greattrailsnc #YearOfTheTrail, and the trails this past month have been some of our favorites yet!

Head up to the “Trails We Took in November” link in our bio to learn more! With only a few weeks left in the year, we’ll be looking back at some of our favorite trails so far, as well as taking on 4 more local High Country trails so stay tuned for more #YearOfTheTrail content!

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, consider shopping wit

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, consider shopping with one of our awesome campaign partners that are helping support trails across North Carolina!

@enohammocks is based in Asheville, NC and shares their hammocks and relaxation gear with members of ENO Nation around the globe. ENO is passionate about people, the planet, and creating a future where everyone can enjoy their time outside. Through their partnerships such as with the YOTT campaign, they’ve committed to promoting Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion in the outdoors, protecting and preserving our environment and public lands, and serving and supporting our communities through outdoor education and experiences.

@mastgeneralstore has 11 locations across the Southeast with most being in North Carolina, including Boone, Asheville, Hendersonville, and Winston-Salem. This store has been employee-owned since 1995, and is a go-to for outdoor apparel, fun provisions, and gifts! The Mast Store gives back to the communities in three major focus areas—arts, environmental, and human services, encouraging employees to give their time to groups that they are passionate about by paying for up to 8 hours of volunteer time each year. And, they also have a matching funds program to encourage monetary donations!

@footsloggersoutdoors, located in Boone, NC, is dedicated to supplying durable and sustainable goods, supporting their community youth programs, organizations that support those in need in the region, local state parks and land trusts, as well as the Banff Mountain Film Festival’s World Tour stop in Boone.

@trustygopc has been a huge supporter of the Year of the Trail campaign and has multiple locations across North Carolina and beyond. They work to educate and gear up trail enthusiasts to get outside and give a percentage of every sale made in their stores to local conservation efforts!
