Our State visits Hot Springs

From the artcicle in Our State Magazine.
"Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Pisgah National Forest, and the French Broad River, Hot Springs’ terrain has always been pristine. The Appalachian Trail runs straight through town, further proving that you’re in the midst of a Sierra Club dream. Such a place is fitting for a resort destination. Add the mystical waters that come up from the ground and have been known to ease physical ailments, and you’ve got a natural paradise.Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Pisgah National Forest, and the French Broad River, Hot Springs’ terrain has always been pristine.
