À quoi s'attendre

Blue Ridge Parkway
As we drive along the parkway, you'll notice spots on the road where you can pull your vehicle to the side. These overlooks are designed to spotlight the mountains' most scenic vistas. There are over 200 of them along the whole Blue Ridge Parkway! Each one features a large wooden sign that lists the name of the mountain or ridge you're looking at, and your current elevation. It's nice to give a little personal touch to the otherwise anonymous and similar-looking mountains that you drive through.
2
Waterrock Knob
This is Blue Ridge Parkway's tallest visitor's center! Located at 5,820 feet in elevation, this location is known for its stunning long-range views of several major Appalachian mountain chains.
3
Cherokee Rose
From the Trail of Tears emerged the legend of the Cherokee Rose. The flower, in full bloom, features a cluster of snow-white petals surrounding a yellow center. In the story, each petal represents a band of the Cherokee nation, and in the center lies the gold for which their nation was torn apart. In order to access that gold, the white settlers had torn off all the petals.

Promenade Blue Ridge
Pendant que nous conduisons le long de la promenade, vous remarquerez des endroits sur la route où vous pouvez tirer votre véhicule sur le côté. Ces belvédères sont conçus pour mettre en valeur les panoramas les plus pittoresques des montagnes. Il y en a plus de 200 tout le long de Blue Ridge Parkway ! Chacun comporte un grand panneau en bois indiquant le nom de la montagne ou de la crête que vous regardez et votre altitude actuelle. C'est agréable de donner une petite touche personnelle aux montagnes par ailleurs anonymes et similaires que vous traversez.

Bouton Waterrock
C'est le centre d'accueil des visiteurs le plus haut de Blue Ridge Parkway ! Situé à 5 820 pieds d'altitude, cet endroit est connu pour ses superbes vues à longue distance sur plusieurs grandes chaînes de montagnes des Appalaches.

Rose Cherokee
De la piste des larmes est née la légende de la rose Cherokee. La fleur, en pleine floraison, présente une grappe de pétales blancs comme neige entourant un centre jaune. Dans l'histoire, chaque pétale représente une bande de la nation Cherokee, et au centre se trouve l'or pour lequel leur nation a été déchirée. Pour accéder à cet or, les colons blancs avaient arraché tous les pétales.

I started the tour fine at the welcome center it seemed to work well but the portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway that I had purchased was closed because of damage from the hurricane. The company should have not had this available if the road is totally closed down.

Elaine, I’m sorry you couldn’t fully enjoy my Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway Driving Audio Tour. The North Carolina section was closed due to hurricane damage, while parts of Virginia reopened. I recommend checking NPS updates before visiting, and I'll be sure to add closure info for future customers. Don’t worry—my tour is valid for a year, so you can revisit anytime and explore the reopened sections!

The audio was good and provided useful information about stops coming up. I liked the stories they told about the blue ridge parkway and put four stars because I wish they told more stories and talked a bit more the history

We enjoyed the stories and tidbits about the Blue Ridge as we were traveling. It also pointed out small details about some of the overlooks that we would not have known. Having grown up near the Blue Ridge, there wasn’t a whole lot we haven’t seen but the tucked away parts that was shared on the app was worth the purchase. Like the tv tower on top of a high ridge which we couldn’t see because of clouds covering it and the small wooden walkway in the Taylor Forest. That did make the experience more immersive. I liked that it gave alternate things to view off the beaten place so to speak.

Kim, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the stories and hidden details of my Scenic Blue Ridge Parkway Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, especially those tucked-away spots like the TV tower and the small wooden walkway in the Taylor Forest. It sounds like the tour added some great value to your trip! However, I noticed you gave us three stars, and I'd love to know what led to giving two stars less. Your feedback would really help me improve the experience.
