blue ridge parkway

下午我们决定绕远路回家,因为大雾的关系,但我们还是出发了…...大雾迫使我们放慢速度(好吧,我们不赶时间),但是因此我们的注意力都集中在一个个美丽的场景上,——特别是秋天的树枝——似乎是从薄雾中延伸出到我们眼前的一样......就像见证了创世的过程一样。

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。

从阿什维尔的大路一直开到77号公路,一天可以覆盖。当时我们正从Pigeon Forge去Lynchburg,要一天到,所以开得很辛苦。中间的这条道很棒。我真希望我们时间能再宽裕点,这样就能更频繁地停下来欣赏沿途的美景,但唉,我们没有,所以只能尽力而为了。有人告诉我,这个大路从头开到尾至少要三天,我现在明白了。这条道九曲十八弯啊。而且有很多地方可以停下来,欣赏风景。另外,你可以停车去远足,这样很容易就会逗留三四个小时,因此,即便你有时间,也要好好选定自己想要做什么不做什么才行。再说一次,我很开心我们选了这条路,不过真的很遗憾没有更多的时间去探索沿路的那些美景。

在我们从亚特兰大到阿什维尔的旅行中,我们环游了蓝色山脊公园道。这次的旅行棒极了。我们在Graveyard Fields吃了野餐午餐,然后爬上了Looking Glass Rock。我们回来时是阴天,在一些地方能看到的景色较少,但是仍然让人兴奋。

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。

I've lived in North Carolina for years, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of my favorite places to visit. If you are traveling between Boone and Asheville, its a beautiful route to take and there are plenty of hiking trails and overlooks along the way for some nice rest stops. In winter, some parts of the parkway will be closed to cars, but you can park your car at the barrier and walk along the actual parkway. If you take your dog, make sure you bring along a leash - recently I watched the park ranger stop people for having dogs off their leashes.

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.

The Parkway is awesome. Can't beat the scenery of the mountains and trees. Spring and Fall are great times to go. Plan accordingly so you don't miss some of the things to do along the way. Pack a picnic and blanket because there are some nice spots to stop. Awesome picture opportunities.

Love the drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway! The pretty colorful leaves are a sight to see and the waterfalls are magnificent.

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.

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".

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!

Loved driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. We took our time and stopped at some of the scenic stops and loved every moment.

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.
