Brevard is addressed as the "Land of Waterfalls" and there are good reasons behind that. Visitors here bask dozens of waterfalls on the DuPont State Forest, Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Though the area is at the northern edge of the total solar eclipse and just experiences a minute of complete darkness, this will still be one of the best places in North Carolina to spend a weekend for the celestial event along with a travel guide to Brevard.

1. Blue Ridge Parkway- Just 45 minutes drive from Brevard, the Blue Ridge Parkway has many viewing opportunities for the total solar eclipse. But this will also be among some of the most coveted real estate on the day of the eclipse, and traffic may turn out to be a nightmare for you.

2.Brevard College- Some new students joined Brevard College on August 21, the same day as the eclipse was. Instead of postponing the move-in, the college rather decided to have an eclipse viewing party on the front lawn at the entrance of the college. Safety glasses will be deployed freely and dozens of telescopes were also set up across the field. There is plenty of parking amenity in the campus on a regular day, but it would be better to park off campus on this specific day.

3. Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI) - PARI is the former NASA amenity that now works as a non-profit research institute. Their main location on the top of a mountain is an ideal spot for Brevard mountain biking. The place will also ensure a great viewing experience of the total solar eclipse. Sylvan Sport may be hosting the Camp Dark Sky event which will include 4 nights private camping at PARI in one of their GO campers
