Ahh, the Blue Ridge Parkway. Since the first time I crossed this road in 2007 on the Appalachian Trail, I've had a fascination with the Parkway. For those of you who haven't been or don't know, the BRP is 469 miles long, stretching along the Appalachian Mountains from the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina all the way to the Shenandoah National Park in Northwest Virginia. I've read that 17 million people hop on the parkway somewhere along the way, exploring either by foot, bike, automobile, motorcycle, camper or bus. Driving the parkway is like hiking in your car and a complete trip from one end to the other would be a fantastic vacation.
Anyway, now that we live less than a mile from the BRP, it's become my go to road for getting in and out of Pisgah National Forest. Even the dog get's excited when I make the turn on to it. In the coming days and months, you will be seeing many trips that begin off the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is one highly recommended destination spot and A Trail Life favorite!
