My husband packed for our trip to black mountain in a rush and forgot to put his shorts in his bag…read more I'm sure they are sitting on our bed back in Charlotte, meanwhile it's in the 80s in Black Mountain this week. On a recommendation from our super nice server at The Open Oven restaurant, we stopped in to Take a Hike to grad a pair from him. We we happy to see that they allow pets/dogs in the store so that one of us wasn't stuck in the car with the pups. The store has tons of great clothes, shoes, socks and other supplies you might want for hiking. Big names like Prana, North Face, Patagonia etc. He got a pair of shorts from the clearance section and I found a handy Kavu sling purse. Win-win

Great local outdoor store. Love shopping local and how chill this place is…read more Upon entering, staff always greet you. Small town feels. There is typically plenty of parking in the lot or nearby. Standard small town hours. The shop is clean and organized. They have a good sampling of outdoor gear. Lots of seasonal clothing, some camping gear and backpacks and some Knick knacks such as hydration tabs and stickers. There is a sale rack in back. Everything is very pricy as goes with outdoor gear shops especially small ones. I would still argue that it's pretty similar to the standard- not more expensive than REI or the like. I'd definitely recommend this place for a stop in. They have a nice curated selection. Plus it's always the season for a fun new outdoor toy to inspire you to get outside ;)

This location is a bit touristy for me but the store is a s clean, organized and friendly as always. They have taken the hardcore outdoor gear supplies down a knotch or two to make space for the things downtown visitors would live (in my opinion) as they have many more candles and stickers. They still have a decent shoe collection, quality clothing and some nice basic camping and glamping supplies. They also carry jewelry and other Knick knacks. People working are always super friendly.

Chaulk up another point on the Score Board for REI's Bike shop!! This is my second review of the…read morebike shop and im very pleased to offer another glowing review. I cant remember the mechanic's name that looked at my bike today. But i think it starts with a "J". Anyways, I"ll call him bottom bracket guy. I went afraid i might have to replace my bottom bracket (Expensive replacement) because there was alot of lateral wiggle in it. Another mechanic days earlier at REI, after just explaining the issue, bet it was just loose and may not need replacing. With high hopes of loose, Bottom Bracket Guy put it on the stand, and witha pull this way and a tug that-a-way, he looked at me said..."yup, it loose". And with that, whiped out a magic tool and with a turn this-a-way, and a twist that-a-way, my bottom bracket was fixed and the day was saved!! Some places would've told me it was broke and needed a new one which wouldve broken my bottom bracket!! Anyhow, an estatic thank you and again wonderful, honest service.

While wandering around Historic Biltmore Village, cross the busy street over to this neat little…read moreshop - the locals will stop and let you cross, but be wary of the out-of-towners. The shop has a wide variety of books, guides, and hiking maps that would thrill Henry David Thoreau were he alive today.

There is a wide variety of kits and tools for the study of geology, flora and fauna all in an artist's gallery featuring the natural world. This is a great place to start your exploration of the trails and natural beauty that surrounds Asheville and its environs.
