Blue Ridge Parkway Road Trip

If you’re looking for a drive of a different kind, then the Blue Ridge Parkway Road Trip is for you! The Blue Ridge Parkway has over 469 miles in length, all inviting you to slow down and take in the beautifully rugged mountains of the Appalachian Highlands. This is a motorway built for recreational, being it the USA’s longest national park area, mile after mile the parkway passes through a cross-section of Appalachian mountain history and culture. The best time for you to take a road trip down Blue Ridge Parkway is during September and October.

Here’s all that you will see during your trip:

• Linville Falls, where flowing water flows throughout the rocky falls and you can experience and feel Native American culture
• The Sherando Lake campground is the perfect, quiet escape from the city
• Craggy Gardens, offers you a beautiful view of the glory of the Appalachian Mountains
• If you’re a rock climber then there’s Looking Glass Rock for you, it gets its name because of the sunlight that bounces off the granite face

… these are just some of the main highlights, there are so much more like the Devil’s Courthouse, Richland Balsam, the State Park of Mount Mitchell, a Memorial Park of Moses H. Cone, and Ravens Roost which is perfect if you are into hang gliding or rock climbing.
