Banner Elk is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in western North Carolina. It is 20 minutes away from Boone, and is surrounded by the towns of Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Seven Devils and Hawk's Nest. There is a wide range of Bed and Breakfast Inns, hotels, vocational rental property and restaurants and bars in town. And just a few minutes away there are ski resorts, golf clubs, hiking trails, campgrounds and other possibilities for outdoor fun.
Banner Elk area is popular among road and mountain biking enthusiasts. Lees McRae College cycling team held the National Championship title several times in the few years since its inception. Team members practice in the surrounding area and on the trails adjacent to the town's green way system.
In the winter Banner Elk is where people come to choose and cut their own Christmas tree and ski, and in the summer it is a perfect place for a family getaway which can be either quiet, peaceful, and relaxing or full of activity, fun, and adventure. Blue Ridge parkway, Grandfather mountain, Linville Falls and Linville Gorge are just a few of the scenic landmarks in the area. The attractions that are worth visiting are the Woolly Worm Festival that takes place in Banner Elk in October, and the summer theater, by the Lees-McRae College Performing Arts department.
