Time passes and views are plenty
The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most traveled in our nation's National Park System. The scenic thoroughfare is 470 miles long and zigzags through the mountains of the Shenandoah to the Great Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina. The parkway overlaps Asheville at US 25, 70 and 74 and is popular with both motorists and bicyclists. Some of the more popular stops in the area are Linville Gorge (milepost 316.4), Craggy Gardens (milepost 364.2) and Graveyard Fields (milepost 418.8). It is open year-round if the is weather permitting.
