As our community begins to heal from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, we want to offer our support in a meaningful way. That’s why we’ve created the Vortex Relief Pass. This pass gives you free daily access to select Mystery Hill activities for the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025, and most importantly, 50% of every purchase will be donated to local relief and rebuilding efforts. This is our small way of standing with our neighbors during these difficult times.
Here's what you should know 👇
✨ HALF of the proceeds from this special pass will be donated to Hurricane Helene Relief in the area.
🌀 Pass holders get FREE daily access to the Anomaly Tour, Hall of Mystery, Bubblerama, 1903 Dougherty House Museum, Native American Artifacts Museum, & Bull Ride Challenge.
🗓️ It's valid from the date of purchase through the end of 2025. That's over one whole year!

🎟️ Learn more and buy your pass here: https://mysteryhill.net/4eBeMY9

Western NC is not completely closed for business or leaf season. There are specific areas that are not open for visitors, but many areas are, including Boone, Blowing Rock, Sparta, West Jefferson, and almost all of the Smokies and Southwest NC. You may have limited options and ways to get there, but you can still go, and they actually need the tourism money. Please check NCdot.gov daily for road updates and https://highcountryhost.com/High-Country-NC-hurricane-helene-tourism-openings-closures for more information.

Our small businesses need you!

Bird watching on Grandfather…something for everyone.
My friend here had already spotted over 20 broad-winged hawks as they were migrating through.

One of the most common questions we start seeing around this time every year is “when will Fall colors peak in the Blue Ridge Mountains?!?”

Thanks to Michael Denslow of the Department of Biology at Appalachian State University, this map offers science-based answers, estimating peak times for various parts of Western NC (based on elevation and latitude).

Hope this helps as you plan your Autumn adventures in the Blue Ridge Mountains!! 😉

Celebrating 50 Years of Discovery ✨

Ever wondered where it all began for Discovery Map®? Pictured below is the original "Who's Where" map, lovingly hand-drawn by Bud Sibley back in 1974 for Felix von Moschzisker's local "SCENE Scene" paper in Vermont's picturesque Mad River Valley.

This simple map sparked an idea that blossomed into a company devoted to capturing the unique spirit of communities across North America.

From those humble beginnings to a brand people cherish, we're proud to continue showcasing these wonderful destinations and supporting local businesses and tourism!
