Travelling in Greensboro in a Car Hire

Take your car hire to Hanging Cliff State Park located along NC Route 66. The striking contrast of the towering mountains against extending farmlands allows you to catch sight of the park from miles away. Over 7,000 acres of land among the jagged terrain give endless opportunities to take in the serenity of nature not too far from the activity of the Triad Area. The park gets its name from a bear-rock cliff which hangs over a deep valley bestowing lovely views of the Carolina landscape. Along the 18 miles of hiking trails, you will find beautiful enclaves featuring streams and waterfalls such as those found at the Lower Cascades which gushes down from twelve metres above. You may choose to spend a night camping or bunking up in one of the wilderness cabins for rent. The visitor centre has a lot of information on the park and surrounding area as well as a museum room for educational purposes.

To find a little excitement for the entire family, look no further the Canopy Tours which is also along NC Route 66 near the Hanging Cliff Park. The zip-lining adventures first started in the rainforests of Costa Rica. The program's goal is to bring environmental awareness while helping people realize the fun they can have in nature. There are two courses you can choose from both of which feature 8-10 cables at an average height of 50 feet in the air. After a short safety briefing, you will travel from platform to platform high in the trees among many birds and squirrels. Throughout the spring and summer months the facility hosts tours after dark during which you are equipped with headlamps as you zip through the dark woods. Upon completion, you have the option of lighting a bonfire for a back-country dinner for a small fee.

The Greensboro Historical Museum is situated at the centre of town at 130 Summit Ave among the shops and restaurants. The 17,000 square foot building houses some of the most remarkable pieces of Greensboro and North Carolina history. While navigating the galleries you can not help but be compelled by the collection of recorded interviews featuring people from the past and present speaking on the hardships of the civil rights movement. Adjacent to the museum is the Public Library surrounded by which are historical buildings set up as traditional blacksmith and woodworking shops.
