Blue Ridge Parkway Self-Guided Tour: Cherokee to Asheville
Blue Ridge Parkway Self-Guided Tour: Cherokee to Asheville
The Experience
Drive one of America's most celebrated scenic roads with this self-guided driving tour covering 45 narrated stops across 60 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee to Asheville through mountains over a billion years old. Climb to Waterrock Knob at 6,292 feet for a four-state panorama, stand at Richland Balsam — the highest point on the entire 469-mile parkway — and discover the powerful history of the Cherokee people whose homeland these mountains remain. Hike Black Balsam Knob's windswept summit for views rivaling Scotland, cool off at Skinny Dip Falls, and explore forests harboring more biodiversity than almost anywhere in the temperate world, including the planet's densest salamander population. End near the Biltmore Estate, America's largest private home. From ghost forests of Fraser fir to wild blueberry meadows at Graveyard Fields, this self-guided tour transforms a beautiful drive into an unforgettable journey through geology, Cherokee heritage, and Appalachian ecology.
