Your friends at the Blue Ridge Trading Company would like to remind you that the leaves are in full autem color. If you live anywhere near the Blue Ridge Parkway it is time to gather family or friends, head to the mountains, view the leaf changes and enjoy the fresh mountain air. There is no fee to travel the Parkway and the leaves are right now in the peak of their change. The golden yellows, orange and red leaves are vivid and absolutely gorgeous.
Naturally, there is no better way to view this Fall scenery then on a motorcycle. Since I live at the top of the mountains take my advice. Before departure make sure you listen to the weather forecast. Mountain Tops are much cooler then the valley’s below. Also, make sure to take along your motorcycle apparel even on a hot day. You never know when you are going to have a breakdown, and at sundown it gets cold.
The Blue Ridge Parkway connects the Shenandoah National Park near Waynesboro, Va (Milepost 0) with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Cherokee, NC (Milepost 469). If you would like to ride sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway you can find entrances and exits at all major federal and state highways.
Asheville and Boone, NC along with Roanoke, Va are the largest cities along the route. In Virginia, Interstates 64, 81 and 77 all have directions for accessing the Parkway. The same is true for Interstates 40 and 26 in North Carolina. There are facilities, including picnic areas, campgrounds, visitor centers, and concessions. Facilities are in full operation.
Some more tidbits good to know about the Blue Ridge Parkway is that the Parkway Headquarters is at Milepost 382. Their mailing address should you need it is 199 Hemphill Knob Road, Asheville, NC 28803-8686. Their phone number is 828-271-4779. The park information line is 828-298-0398 and it provides the most up to date information on facilities, activities, and road closures.
The Blue Ridge Trading Company would like to invite you to break the humdrum of everyday life. Get out-of-town for a while and leave your problems behind. Travel to the tops of the earth and enjoy the fall leaves change. The mountains are waiting for you. Come on and enjoy them.
