More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the arrivals hall, baggage in hand, and the humid Carolina air pushes against the glass doors. A driver holds a nameplate near the curb while traffic on I-40 flows toward the red-brick grid of downtown Raleigh. The ride across the Piedmont is a short, steady pulse — rolling hills, occasional stands of loblolly pine, and the Neuse River glimpsed between suburban strips.
