Accessible approximately 14 miles north of Hendersonville, the famous Blue Ridge Parkway is a non-commercial 470-mile trail along which no roadside advertising or commercial development interferes with your drive while you enjoy the natural beauty and scenery at elevations ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 feet. The view combines awesome natural beauty, mountain forests, wildlife, wildflowers, and magnificent views. Along the two-lane parkway you'll see both Mt. Mitchell, the highest mountain east of the Mississippi River, and Grandfather Mountain, whose immense profile resembles a human face. |
