The Greenways Discovery Day Tour is a guided tour of the greenway segments in Black Mountain.
Tour guides will share history of the greenways and the area as you walk some greenway segments and are shuttled in-between by our vans.
This tour will help participants envision the plan for Black Mountain’s Greenway System while learning about the history of Black Mountain.
There is no cost, but limited seating on the vans where some info will be shared (preregistration required to confirm your seat).

We hope you’ll visit our general store; take a walk through the fields; pick apples in season; stand on our back deck and watch the barn swallows prepare to welcome new family members; sit at one of our picnic tables and have a bite with a view; read about our history; enjoy live music on our pavilion; or just hang out, surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’re not a commercial orchard—we offer experiences and a look into what makes this piece of the Blue Ridge memorable. Spend an hour or an afternoon with us at the family- and pet-friendly Orchard at Altapass.
