Parkway Love

One of the best things about living in Asheville is the Blue Ridge Parkway.  A few weeks ago, we took a drive North on the parkway and stopped at a few different places to hike and admire the views.   It was a foggy and amazing day.  Just looking at this picture makes me happy.

We started below the clouds, drove through them and ended up on top of them.

We ducked through Rhododendron tunnels - one of my favorite parts of the trails around here.

Rooney's a big fan too.  I think he likes that he can run in the smaller tunnels and he knows we won't come in after him.  What can I say, the pup likes his adventures too.

Once we got up to about 5500 feet, the views were breathtaking.  It was so gorgeous to look out and see the mountains that we love poking through the clouds.  It felt like we were a million miles from town, in a world of our own. 
Picture
I just want to run my hands through the clouds and walk along those ridges.

Who's with me?

Rhodie tunnels are one of my favorite things from the AT. I miss them.

Love the pics! And there's nothing more amazing than being above the clouds and seeing the mountains poking through.
