Blue Ridge Parkway
Curtis Valley Overlook - Montreat NC
Touted as America’s Favorite Drive and taking 50+ years to complete, the Blue Ridge Parkway meanders along the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains for 469 miles connecting Great Smoky Mountains National Park to Shenandoah National Park. The drive consists of long-range vistas and rugged landscapes and can be enjoyed year round with the understanding that the Parkway is maintained by the National Parks Service and the United States Forest Service. As such the All-American Road is not maintained over winter and is subject to weather related road closures.
What a ride! I imagine the only thing that could make the ride along the Blueridge Parkway more spectacular is autumn. Right now, it’s the beginning of summer, but the views are still amazing. I captured both GoPro and phone footage on the ride up. For a laundry list of reasons, none of it is worthy of sharing. But some of my snaps didn’t turn out half bad!
