Welcome to NC Tripping, our site dedicated to North Carolina travel! Here, you’ll find a collection of more than 300 travel guides, many of which can be found inside our Bucket List Book. You can also shop for NC-themed products in our Shop!
We cover the best things to do in NC, detailing the businesses to support and where to go from the mountains of Western North Carolina to the coast of Eastern North Carolina, throughout Central North Carolina, and all in between.
Things to Do in North Carolina (Our Bucket List)
We first created a Bucket List Guide that will keep all levels of North Carolina travelers busy.
Our Bucket List Book is the product of that guide and is a deeper dive into more than 100 places to visit during your North Carolina travels. You can purchase it here and stay tuned as we get closer to releasing a print version!
We’re confident to present both as complete guides, filled with popular things to do but also the lesser-known attractions.
