My dream was to spend my 25th wedding anniversary on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and it didn't disappoint! Such a pretty place! Hubby did say though that after hours of curves and mountain roads it was almost hypnotic. We went all the way from where...More

This is the southern part of the Blue Ridge Parkway that runs through the Pisgah National Forest. We got on the Pkwy where 74 connects and drove south to the 276 road exit. Three were lots of scenic overlooks to pull off and take in...More
