We moved here and have called North Carolina home for almost 11 years now. We have seen about 75% of the state and still have not found a place that is not, at the very least, quaint and picturesque! I too agree that you should plan to see the western end or the eastern end as you can't do all that in 4 days. We visited NC 3 separate times, for a week at a time, before we got the "feel" of the state. We did the coastal area, then the mountains and then the middle of the state. Once we moved here we spent almost every weekend and all of our vacation time exploring this gorgeous state. Of all the southern states we think that NC is the most progressive and the most beautiful (with Virginia a close second). Don't forget to try the barbecue, as you can find red sauce as well as white (vinegar based) and enjoy the unique country cookin'.

Sunny, Silverwing, Hapalee thanks so much for the wonderful responses (pics and map) Walidm-I'm thinking of visiting the National Park, Charlotte and maybe R/D area...I agree 4 days will not be enough, if we like it we're planning to visit again
I'm looking forward to the Smokey Mountain NP, I live near Yosemite here in California and that's some beauty for you!
