Dear Friends,

Welcome to North Carolina! This year’s North Carolina Travel Guide contains
a wealth of information on the many unforgettable attractions that make our
state a favorite year-round travel destination.

From interactive race-car experiences to some of the East Coast’s best scuba
diving, North Carolina offers a wide variety of activities for those who enjoy
excitement. But the state also provides many opportunities to step back, take
a breath of fresh air and relax at a quieter pace.

It’s the simple pleasures that count – those that create lasting memories
without costing a lot. Strolling along a scenic coastal waterfront, fly-fishing in
a mountain stream or enjoying a concert under the stars are just a few of the
ways to relax, step back from the hectic pace of everyday life and remember
what truly matters.

As you travel the Tar Heel State, I encourage you to experience the best that
we have to offer. You will come to discover what our proud citizens already
know – that there is no better place to be.

Sincerely,

Gov. Bev Perdue

Snow Wonder
If skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and
even ice climbing are on your agenda
this winter, head to the beautiful
mountains of North Carolina.
Home to the East Coast’s highest ski
slopes and its biggest snow tubing park,
the western Mountains offer a wide variety
of activities for the whole family. Not to
mention some incredible scenery.

One of the largest powwows in the United States is staged in

which began in 1965, attracts thousands of visitors and tribal
representatives from across the country.
The history of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is told at
the Mountainside Theatre in Cherokee each summer. Since
1950, the outdoor drama Unto These Hills has attracted families
looking for an enriching cultural experience.
Other worthwhile stops in Cherokee include the Qualla Arts &

Leaf peepers can marvel at dogwoods, red maples, black
gums and tulip poplars, followed by sourwoods, sweet gums,

Charlotte’s canvas of art offerings expands

Among Charlotte’s numerous cultural attractions for visitors,


museums are rapidly becoming one of the most popular.
The highly respected Mint Museum has long been a leading
light, but recently the city’s museum scene has bloomed.
The sleek, new 145,000-square-foot Mint Museum Uptown
building opened in fall 2010 on the new Wells Fargo Cultural
Campus in downtown Charlotte, vastly expanding space for
its growing modern art and arts and crafts collections.
A jewel in the city’s crown, the campus also boasts the
spectacular new Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the second
of only two American buildings by the Swiss architect Mario
Botta (the other is the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art).
With a warm, terra cotta-colored tile skin, the new boutique
museum is dramatically contemporary, yet fanciful, designed
as a “jewelry box,” says museum director Pam Davis.
“When you’re inside, unlike any other museum, there’s a
lot of visual interplay. You can see what’s going on all the
time, see outside, see the terrace. You always feel you’re
part of something.”
The art collection was donated by Swiss-born Charlotte
resident Andreas Bechtler and contains work by such artists
as Picasso, Calder and Giacometti.
Nearby, the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American
Arts + Culture, its striking design inspired by the story of
Jacob’s ladder, offers changing exhibits, anchored by the
Hewitt Collection of important African-American art.

are currently no Rembrandt originals on

The NASCAR Hall of Fame
has revved up motorsports
in Charlotte

story By Des Keller

I
’m strolling the curved, track-like concourse of the new
NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, but it feels more like I’m
viewing one of this country’s finest collections of American
art. Can high art be equipped with tachometers, roll cages
and engines capable of thrusting a stock car to 200 mph?
The answer, provided at this new, 150,000-square-foot homage
to the glory of racing, is a resounding “yes.” I’ve scarcely made it
through the expansive front entry, and I’m already transfixed on
what is called Glory Road, a banked ramp leading to the second
floor that displays more than 15 historic race cars along with
plaques to commemorate 40 current and historic tracks.
Before me is Herb Thomas’ sublime, pale-green 1952 Hudson
Hornet – set low with gentle curves that provided enough
aerodynamics to help Thomas win the 1951 and 1953 Grand
National (now Sprint Cup) championships. Nearby is Bobby
Isaac’s imposing, orange 1970 Dodge Daytona with its huge
spoiler on the back. This car won 11 NASCAR races that season,
and Isaac went on to set 28 world speed records with the car.
Like a stock car track itself, Glory Road continues to bank even
more steeply to give you an idea what a number of actual tracks

In the Fast Lane
Most of the best-known race teams are based within two
hours of Charlotte, and many offer tours to the public. You
can see mechanics working on the cars, feel the rumble of
engines being tested and browse the teams’ museums and
gift shops. In all cases, call the headquarters to make sure the
facility is open the day you want to visit.
The Charlotte Motor Speedway and zMAX Dragway, other must-
see attractions for race fans, are located in nearby Concord.
The track plays host to tours and other events year-round, in
addition to premier Sprint Cup races in May and October.
