A Blue Ridge Parkway drive is a wonderful road trip.
The incredibly amazing Blue Ridge Parkway runs from Virginia through the Smoky Mountains all the way to Cherokee, North Carolina and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Asheville, North Carolina.
It’s the most popular drive in America and there’s beautiful scenery all along it with overlooks and amazing vistas the whole way.
At the southern end of the Parkway visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park – it’s the most popular National Park in the USA!
And you’ll certain want to visit nearby Asheville, a city that renowned for it restaurants.

Hi Gary, It’s incredible, isn’t it? Personally, I think there are few drives in America that can rival it.
Beautiful. I took my father and stepmother up to eat at the restaurant right close to the water and watermill. I took pictures of it. It’s very interesting. I see pictures of it in a lot of different places. They loved it also. Was a great day letting Dad and her enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Hi Sheree, Isn’t the Blue Ridge Parkway a great drive? I loved it! I think it’s one of the most beautiful drives in America.
Not only is it a beautiful drive, there are wonderful hiking trails to stop and enjoy. Look for the hiker post to find many of the Mountain to Sea trial access points.
Great point Lee. Thank you.
