  • 🎥 IN THIS EPISODE → We visited The Linn Cove Viaduct in Western North Carolina on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's located at Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 304.4 Linville, NC 28646. This seven-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway - once the Parkway’s missing link - was completed in 1987. It was delayed for twenty years as environmentalists, adjacent landowners, engineers, and architects sought a design that would preserve and protect the fragile habitat of adjacent Grandfather Mountain.
    The Linn Cove Viaduct hugs the face of Grandfather Mountain and is recognized internationally as an engineering marvel. This was the last section of the Parkway to be completed and a model of the construction technique highlights a visit to the Linn Cove Visitor Center.

    Hubby and I drove the Blue Ridge Parkway from beginning to end. We drove from Cincinnati to Shenandoah National Park and ended in Cherokee NC. It took us several days cause we stopped and explored and to get our bearings, lol..some of the journey is very winding… It was in the fall time and very beautiful. So glad we were able to do it when we did..Thanks for bringing back some great memories. Glad big T was able to join ya too👍🏻.😊

    In the mid 80's after the Viaduct was finished and before it was opened for traffic, it was so you could walk across. On the day I walked it, it was so foggy I couldn't enjoy the beautiful views but still enjoyed the walk.
