交通資訊
Accessing the Blue Ridge Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a seasonal road which is only accessible via certain access points and normal mapping apps will not use it as a route.
The closest access point is by Grandfather mountain. Once you come down the mountain, take a right on Tynecastle Hwy, right on 105 then left on 221. After a few windy miles you will approach the Blue Ridge Parkway access point (look for brown-colored signage).
