Bring your Car Club to the Best of the Mountains in One Place

Your car club will enjoy driving the scenic byways that lead to Chimney Rock Park – just 25 miles southeast of Asheville, N.C. Getting here is half the fun. As many of you know, the Park was home of the Chimney Rock Park Hillclimb, a Sports Car Club of America sanctioned event for 50 races between 1956 and 1996. Follow in the tracks of decades of car enthusiasts as you drive the winding, three-mile road into the Park.

Spend two hours or an entire day with us. Take the 26-story elevator to the top of Chimney Rock to marvel at the 75-mile views, or explore our five hiking trails and 404-foot waterfall. Our five-acre Meadows is the perfect spot to showcase your cars and take group photos. Choose from a variety of fun activities and a full range of catering options.

Come and experience the camaraderie and the thrill of driving your cars in Chimney Rock Park – the Best of the Mountains in One Place.
