Vote for Asheville in the Rand McNally 2012 Best of the Road Poll

For those of us who think Asheville NC is surely the most beautiful and magically place to be, there is now an opportunity to let the rest of the the world know by voting in Rand McNally and USA Today's Best of the Road Poll.

Asheville NC is situated on a plateau in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Resting at an altitude of 2300' feet, Asheville is nestled between more than 100 mountain peaks above 5,000' feet. Within view from Asheville is Mt. Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi River. Asheville ranks 13th in the nation for art galleries and the influence of so much creative spirit is felt throughout this remarkable "city in the sky". More than 100 years ago George Vanderbilt chose Asheville NC as the location for his "American Castle", believing it was the ideal place.

If you have a special place in your heart for Asheville's purple mountains majesty, then cast your review in the 2012 Best of the Road poll hosted by Rand McNally and USA Today.  CLICK HERE TO VOTE.
