Beech Mountain

Beech Mountain straddles the Eastern Continental Divide in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, placing the town on high terrain whose waters drain toward different sides of the continent. At 5,506 feet, it is the highest incorporated town east of the Rocky Mountains, and its cool mountain climate has long shaped life here. Beech Mountain Resort brings winter skiing and snowboarding to the ridge, while summer draws hikers and cyclists to the surrounding forests. The nearby Land of Oz, a Wizard of Oz-themed attraction opened in 1970, adds an unexpected chapter to the mountain’s story.
