Went there two years ago on vacation. Still one of my favorites so far. We did white water rafting which was a lot of fun. Visited the stores and stuff in Boone. App State is located there and it is a very pretty campus. Tons of hiking to do. Drove to Asheville one day to visit the Biltmore estate as well. Very fun trip, you will love it.

We spent a lot of time in Blowing Rock when we lived in TN, and it's a beautiful little mountain town. Grandfather Mountain isn't too far and is pretty cool.
We never did do any white water rafting in the area, but I know there are several places around there. There's also tons of hiking in the area.

Grandfather Mountain that has been mentioned already is a nice area. If you are staying in Banner Elk (or close by) there used to be a really good French restaurant called Morel's.
There is also a pretty cool park/zoo near Grandfather Mountain, I'm drawing a blank on the name, but it is very pretty and one of the places where they filmed Forest Gump running through the mountains.
