: In looking through my September issue of "Southern Living" magazine, I came across this article. The feature story is about Sky Top Orchard located about seven miles south of Hendersonville off of U.S. 25 on Pinnacle Mountain Road. Did we pass this orchard on our way to the waterfalls? I distinctly remember passing some orchards but when I looked in my program guide for the Gathering, I didn't see Hwy. 25 mentioned. Anyway, the article tells about going to the orchard and picking your own apples which sounds like it would be a fun family outing. The Annual North Carolina Apple Festival is August 31-September 3 but the orchard is opened daily from August-December. Web site information: http://www.ncapplefestival.org.

Theresa,
When we went to the Falls, we drove sorta west from Main St. in Hendersonville onto Kanuga/Crabtree/Dupont/Stanton Roads to that parking lot #1; the closest we got to Pinnacle Mtn. Road, is driving from the 2nd parking lot to the air strip; we turned left off of a Reasonever Rd, had you continued on this; you would soon get to the junction of Pinnacle Mtn Road which winds its way back to Hwy 25 and Hendersonville. It looks clear on a map; in reality...that's why we caravaned...
To use Hwy 25 would probably mean you ended up in South Carolina and were trying to work up to Hendersonville....which is why there is no mention of it in the PG; didn't want to give out any ideas....
