Blue Ridge Parkway

A more beautiful drive through the mountains you would be hard-pressed to find. It's hard to imagine how much better it would be in an open-topped vehicle in the fall with all the colors. As it was - a sunny day in late May - it was fantastic.


The beginning of the ascent

Tunnel entry "speed shot". There were many tunnels on this section of the Parkway.

Along the Parkway there are many overlook areas where you can pull off to the side. Each overlook has a sign marking the location and elevation.

The Parkway is a simple, narrow two-lane road

The pinnacle. By any standard, this is "waaay up there!"
