- A road-trip along the last 84 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee to Asheville, NC. Beautiful scenery and pleasant driving along a part of America's longest linear park.
For this video I did something different than usual. My wife and I drove the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway (#blueridgeparkway). We started at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Cherokee, North Carolina and took the scenic route to Asheville. The weather was part sunny and part raining which made for dramatic views. There was very little traffic and way to many overlooks and viewpoints to stop at them all! I highly recommend driving this route to anyone who is looking for and endless stream of pleasant driving and beautiful views.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is noted for its scenic beauty, and is America's longest linear park. At 469 miles long, it links together the Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We drove only a small portion of its length south of Asheville, but had an amazing trip.

Water Rock Knob had no visitors' center and was unpaved when she kissed me and said, "You're mine". Sixty odd years later I had to lay her to her rest. It had to be on Water Rock Knob where her ashes would rest. Wonderful mountain girl, marvelous wife, fantastic mother then grandmother. Good grief, what I wouldn't give to see her again, say and do all the things I did not say and do while she was here. Her mountains pull hard at my heart.
Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee to Asheville, NC. Video has attractive content and form. Watched the video on Feb 28, 2023very like. Thank you
Asheville is actually one of the places I have considered moving to. It's so beautiful in the Blue Ridge area.
North carolina is the most beautiful place from the blue ridge parkway
I grew up in the blue ridge mountains and hendersonville nc is my hometown
Have been there in the late 60's.
drove a portion of it today to go to Mount Mitchell, absolutely stunning views - loved it!
Love this video, the rain & clouds are definitely one of the most beautiful aspects of the Smokies. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Your route was exactly what I wanted to do, and needed! 🙏 Thank you for the wonderful video.
My father and I have riden the parkway end to end twice on motorcycles, and I've always thought the stretch between Asheville and Cherokee is the nicest section.
This drive is worth the time. Beautiful views. So glad you got a beautiful day! Thank you for the details of the drive.
Gorgeous
Nice road trip, with some beautiful views. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful day. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
This is a great video! Thank you for sharing! My wife and I are planning to do the same BRP route in our next trip to Asheville, NC. Did you find any segments of the road to be unsafe or scary? Anything of concern or tips you can think of? It all looks very pretty and relaxing in the video. Thank you. 🙂
How far is Piegon Forge, Tnn to Asheville, NC? How many Tunnels were there?
I enjoyed your video. Thank you for being able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and drive. I have a question. How did the camera take the front and then the right? Did your wife turn by hand? So how did you fix the camera to the car before that?
Hey, we'd like to make this exact drive in a few weeks when we'll be up that way. Could you tell us how long the drive took you? Thank you!
I was there in the 60's?
About how long did it take you to drive it with your stops? I'm trying to figure out a day trip from Pigeon Forge TN to Cherokee on to Ashville and then back to Pigeon Forge.
Is Dry Falls also on this route?
