Andrews has also been called Valleytown. Sitting at 1800 feet, it is surrounded by dramatic 5,000-foot peaks. Just a short drive out of town in almost any direction will get you out in the wilderness and on a trail in no time. Some favorites: Heritage Park Trail, Bartram Trail, Wayah Bald, Siler Bald, Huckleberry Knob, to name a few. Credit to Mary Brown, Pastor of Andrews United Methodist Church.
