The BRP is an old time divided parkway that takes you through the mountains in a very serine way. About four miles from Asheville, the Handicrafts center has a wide selection of local artists' work. Wood, textile, glass, ceramic, jewelry, etc.
So. This is legitimately one of the grandest views you will see on any road. Ancient sloping mountains as far as you can see are even more unfathomably beautiful in the spring, summer, and fall, when the trees bloom, thrive, and then explode into the fiery colors of fall, their one last hoorah of the year. The roads are winding, so don't forget to tell your more delicate passengers to take some anti-motion sickness pills to avoid mid-viewing explosions that don't have anything to do with leaves. There are a few places to stop and take pictures, one of which is a perfect little inn and restaurant that will be reviewed in the future.
Loved driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. We took our time and stopped at some of the scenic stops and loved every moment.
Drove this picturesque highway on our way back from Florida, with a detour to the Inn on the Biltmore Estate. Such a relief from the boredom of the other roads we travelled. The mountains were gorgeous despite the fog and the curves were fun and kept me awake!
We were a little early in some areas for leaves colors. The drive is nice if you don't mind the slow speed! The scenery is over the top. At least do some!
这里一定不可错过,我们是10月来的,沿着公路一直旅行,就为了看树叶变换的色彩,火红的、橙色的、黄色的以及绿色的树叶层叠交错,编织出一幅如画的斑斓景色。不要忘了带上相机哦,以及加大量的电池,因为景色实在是太美了,每一刻都要抓住。对于自然的拥抱会让你感觉到一种精神的洗礼,不管你是否信神,或者有宗教信仰,在这一刻都是一种灵魂的升华。你一路遇到的人也会给你带来全新的认识。我们在Blue Ridge音乐中心停下来,欣赏了当地音乐家的完美演出。不过要抓紧咯,他们仅仅还有几周的表演时间了。
This was our first trip to Asheville and we had heard so much obviously about the hikes along the Blue Ridge Parkway. This did not disappoint. We had amazing summer-like weather in late October and we were able to bring out dog on the hikes with us as well. We also decided to drive the entire length of the BRP into Virginia for our drive back to Pennsylvania. Of course this took double the time it would have taken us normally but I have to say it was worth it! The views were incredible. Much better than the boring I95 "scenery".
这是我第一次见到Fall Colors,真是棒极了!在Blue Ridge Parkway开车棒极了!我一直在看着窗外的美景!我们从Raleigh开车到祖父山。驱车直往山峰棒极了,沿途有很多野餐地点。风景最美的地方之一是Milepost 302.8附近的Rough Ridge Overlook,越过之后能欣赏到Linn Cove最壮丽的美景。然而,下山途中能看见绵延几英里的漂亮的树林,树叶颜色各异,真是美不胜收:)我们去的时间是10月的第一周,这是来此欣赏最佳的时间段。10月的第二周适合在Asheville附近的Blue Ridge欣赏美景。从Blue Ridge Parkway往南去Milepost 418.8,在Asheville城区西南方向大约37英里到Graveyard Fields,那里也美景无限。开车从Milepost 418到Asheville棒极了!这是最棒的经历之一。
This is a gorgeous little drive. There are tons of overlooks to stop and check out the views. Places to take mini hikes and find little creeks and such. Great way to get away from the rat race.
Love the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway! The pretty colorful leaves are a sight to see and the waterfalls are magnificent.
