Welcome to Black Mountain

 Entering our sweet mountain town usually means coming off I-40. Here's the welcome sign (behind the poles and foliage!) when coming from the east into town. People have been going 70 mph and suddenly are tasked with slowing down to 20. It's a challenge.


The main intersection of town is at State St (US Highway 70) and NC 9 or Broadway to the south or the direction toward the interstate...or Montreat Rd. as you travel north or away from the interstate.

    Hello,
    It would be nice if the town's sign stood out more, it is nearly hidden in the bushes.
    Great kindness quote! Take care, have a happy weekend!

      Yep, these signs have become buried in flowers these late summer-days!

    It does seem like a pretty town with very nice surrounding geography.
