"Okay...I am not in the most AMAZING shape but I highly recommend walking straight up the hill. It is a baby hill and the best use of your time so you can enjoy the rest of the STUNNING 360 degree view. What I actually loved most was the hikers on the appalachian trail that kept walking by...sooooo..."o interesting to interact with them.
Now...what they don't tell you. Consider if you like your car dinged with massive gravel and if you like the bottom of your car/truck/van/ ripped out with HUGE divers and craggy rocks. We went up one way and down the other and they were equally horrifying. I have an amazing 4 wheel drive vehicle and it did fine, but was SO large, it tended to skate on the gravel and we almost spun out a couple times. If you have a junker car...great...jeep...even better. Anything else and I would use caution. The locals are HELLIONS and do not look or enjoy stopping to let you by.

"We are Asheville residence and make it a point to visit the spa at Hot Springs in each season of the year. There are 17 private spas looking out on the French Broad River or Spring Creek. Each spa is excellently maintained. The mineral water is perfect in the tubs. They rent towels if you do not..." bring your own. We always take towels, something to drink, and often times cheese and crackers. The spa offers reasonably priced massages which you can find described on their website. Make sure you are on time as they maintain a very strict schedule. There are bathrooms and dressing rooms available very close to the tubs and waiting area.

"During a visit to Asheville, NC, we visited the Hot Springs Resort & Spa. If you would like to experience total relaxation I would suggest reserving one of their private hot tubs filled with natural mineral water. Each tub is totally private and secluded overlooking the French Broad River & Spring..." Creek. I would suggest calling in advance and asking for Tub # 5. This is the one with the best river view. It is about a 50 minute drive out of Asheville, but well worth it.
