You're invited to enjoy early spring in the mountains with us! Experience the fresh air and welcoming sights - find a fun event from this week's newsletter, hike to a waterfall or stroll our small towns. Signs of spring are all around us. I saw this scene and had to stop for a photo - with the clouds over White Oak Mountain, it looks like the design of our First Peak logo. 😁

Happy Birthday to Nina Simone who would've turned 90 today (Feb 21, 2023). With this in mind, we've re-posted a 6-part audio story we made with Explore Tryon about Nina's life and musical talent as a child growing up in Tryon, N.C. Listen in and join us in honoring her legacy. Then come and see how we are remembering her in her hometown. 💜 firstpeaknc.com/podcast-nina-simones-childhood-in-tryon-nc/
