BEECH MOUNTAIN

"At Banner Elk you will want to stay awhile, it is so pretty, and you will also want to climb the beautiful Beech Mountain with its grassy spaces and its charming beech groves." (Morley, p. 361)

"Out of the sea of mountains rises many a well-known form, among them the Beech with its memories of lovely pastures and groves of beech trees, for it is, needless to say, that a mountain of beeches is a sort of enchanted place." (1913, Morley, Margaret. The Carolina Mountains, p.373)
