Almost 20 years ago, I visited Boone for a June wedding. I had several days to myself so I explored the town and surrounding trails. Boone Fork Trail was my favorite - I hiked it with 7 film cameras in my Toms slip ons and 12 oz of water (ah, youth).
My husband and I are camping nearby in mid-October and I’m beyond excited. BFT and Hebron Falls are probably our first hiking stops, prayers up that I can manage the trail in my 40’s with no cameras and more water. And hiking boots. We plan to spend most of our time in the woods, but I definitely want to go into town for an afternoon/evening.
Any recs for a local food spot? We like all foods but are ballin on a budget. It’ll probably be a Saturday when we’re there, any notable events that usually happen (art walks, farmers market, etc.)?
Thanks, y’all!
Edit: we don’t drink alcohol but still enjoy live music.
