Each time I go to Crabtree falls I try to go to the orchard, but this is not always possible because the store is closed during the winter for offseason. I also have never actually gone apple picking, but instead go inside the store and buy the already picked apples. The majority of the times I have visited, there is live bluegrass music. Different kinds of preserved canned foods line many shelves in the store. Homemade fudge is sold, as well as ice cream. During the fall parking can be rough, since it is peak leaf and apple season. This picture captures the vastness of the Appalachian region in my eyes: the life present, the rich colors, and the visibility of the mountains far away. I can recall the sweet smells of the many trees producing apples. #appalachianechoes ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532657183/3ecf4209-b3e5-4c84-bf6c-b85534715c2d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### The Orchard at Altapass You can take time to visit The Orchard at Altapass during your travels to Spruce Pine.
