Blowing Rock is a town in southern Watauga and Caldwell counties, located on the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The town takes its name from an unusual rock formation above the Johns River gorge where light objects float upwards into the sky. Visit Blowing Rock and get to see the Blowing Rock and Tweetsie Railroad theme park that has the only remaining fully functional steam engine train in North Carolina. Take the train ride for 3 miles (5 km) and enjoy the mountain scenery. At Mystery Hill, experience a natural gravitational anomaly that causes objects suspended in mid-air to take more force and move in one direction, and also, get to see the Moon & Irene Mullins Arrowhead Collection and visit the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum.
