Your friends at Blue Ridge Trading Company would like to remind any of you who live any where near the Blue Ridge Mountains it is time to gather family or friends and ride the Blue Ridge Parkway and view the leaf changes. There is no fee to travel the Parkway and leaves are right now in the peak of their change. The golden yellows, orange and red leaves are vivid and absolutely gorgeous.

Outstanding mountain scenery and recreational opportunities make the Blue Ridge Parkway one of the most popular units of the National Park System. The Blue Ridge Mountains favorite drive winds its way 469 miles through mountain meadows and past seemingly endless visitas. Split-rail fences, old farmsteads and historic structures complement spectacular views of distant mountains and neighboring valleys.

Naturally, there is no better way to view this fall scenery then on a motorcycle. Since I live at the base of the Grandfather Mountain take my advice. Before departing on a motorcycle make sure you listen to the weather forcast. Mountain tops are much cooler than 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. At each parkway entrance a directional sign indicates north or south. North toward the north end of the Parkway, leads to Shenandoh National Park. South, toward the south end of the Parkway, leads to the Great Smoky Mountains.

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. Their 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 suggest you change the humdrum of life. Get out of town for awhile and leave your problems behind for a day or two. Travel to the tops of the earth and enjoy the fall change. The mountains are waiting for you.
